Modelling, Texturing and Rendering Techniques for Cinema 4D
3D artist, Cinema 4D expert and trainer Rob Redman hosts MILG8: The Complete Robot, step-by-step instruction for modelling, rigging, texturing and rendering a unique robot character using Maxon Cinema 4D.
Presented in a convenient interactive interface, the course is broken down into 3 main sections: Modelling, Texturing and Rendering; offering real-world Cinema 4D production techniques and workflow.
The Modelling section begins with customising your Cinema 4D interface and setting up keyboard shortcuts and tool icons, aiding efficient workflow. Adding reference images to viewports to use as modelling guides, and using the content browser is also covered.
Next we model the head, moving on to the body, arms and other parts of the Robot. Care is taken to show various methods of creating the same end result, letting you decide which way you feel more comfortable. As the model progresses certain aspects of rigging are covered, from using deformers, right through to building a joint system for the neck with Inverse Kinematics. We also look at how to use character controls in the viewport for faster workflow. The last video in the chapter shows you how to set up the Visual Selection tag, leaving you with plenty of free screen space to work in. Watch example

Another beautiful clip created in After Effects with loads of Trapcode, by TAKCOM for Vital. Nice to see Vital actually featured in the clips now too.

Rampant Media has a large range of still and animated stock textures, including some sets with After Effects project files. Definitely worth a look.
