Ali Molavi's Profile & Portfolio
Ali Molavi
3D Motion Designer
Hi, my name is Ali Molavi,
I have been working as a 3D Artist,
Motion Graphic Artist, Video Director,
and Freelance Filmmaker since 2002.
During that time, I worked on
a wide variety of projects which allowed me
to experience many different areas
including Advertisement, Motion Graphics,
Visual FX, Animation, and Video Game Projects.
I regularly attend industry events to improve my work
and to keep up with the very fast-moving
technologies involved in Computer Graphic Design.
Before becoming an independent artist,
I had the opportunity to produce
a diverse array of CG content
as a part of an Advertising Agency.
I'm more than excited
to share my skills and tips with you.
This class contains everything about creating
satisfying animations with C4D & Octane,
from the very basic to creating your first satisfying loop.
If you follow along, you will have your own
satisfying loop in no time.

Interview
with 3D Motion Designer Ali Molavi

Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
These types of animations have become so popular and have been used in commercials, video arts, animations, and NFTs. It's also a great way to get started and expand your knowledge with Maxon's Cinema 4D and 3D design in general.
What makes your class different from other classes?
This class is planned and designed by two professional 3D Artists and gives the students a deep understanding of key principles of 3D animation and design. It also focuses on a popular style of 3D animation, which many designers can use to expand their skill set.
Please share your thoughts on the job market of the industry
3D is used in many areas of motion design including Advertising, AR & VR, Video Games, Projection Mapping & more. It is crucial to add 3D and Motion Design to your tool belt if you are a designer. It will bring opportunities for beginners to meet the increasing demand in 3D use in general.
What is "go-to" or "must-have" tools in your industry, and why?
Basic 3D design knowledge is necessary in this industry. On the other hand, the tool that is really unique to Cinema 4D is MoGraph. It enables the artists to achieve their goal much easier compared to other software. Octane Render itself is also fast and reliable compared to other render engines.
