Class Highlights
Discover Crucial Octane Render Skills
Develop photorealistic scenes with a surreal touch using the Octane Render engine. Florian will guide you through his go-to settings in Octane Render, while also introducing assets, lighting, and camera setups in Cinema 4D. Mastering the setup process is essential for achieving flawless renders!
Create Surreal Scenes with C4D
Cinema 4D opens up a world of endless possibilities, allowing you to create anything—from the most intricate elements to fully animated scenes. In this class, you’ll not only experiment with different compositions but also discover how to harness powerful tools to build, animate, and bring surreal worlds from your imagination to life.
Enhance Your Scenes with After Effects
After Effects is like a touch of magic powder; just a pinch can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your scene. You will not only use After Effects to composite and create your own exciting transitions, but to make them more realistic and believable through color correction and detailing.
