Of all the areas a 3D artist can learn, modeling is arguably the most difficult to master. It takes hours, weeks, months and years of practice and mistake making to reach the stage where you can decipher a mesh just by looking at it. Also, finding thorough training that focuses on more than just a few techniques and tools isn’t easy, especially if you’re a Cinema 4D artist. With MILG11: Hard Surface Modeling Tactics for Cinema 4D this is no longer the case. MILG11 is the missing link in Cinema 4D modeling, developed specifically for Cinema 4D artists and covering everything you need to know from fundamental modeling concepts to hidden features of key modeling tools. If you’re serious about learning modeling in Cinema 4D, MILG 11: Hard Surface Modeling Tactics for Cinema 4D is the ideal place to start. Here’s what’s included:
