Intro to CGI: Cinema 4D + Octane Information

Intro to CGI: Cinema 4D + Octane by Dustin Valkema is a course focused on introducing participants to the world of computer-generated imagery (CGI) using Cinema 4D and Octane Render.

Intro to Cinema 4D and Octane render engine is a 94 part series to take photographers from zero to functional in both the program and the idea of what CGI can do for a photographer or creative director’s workflow. You can dip your toes in the water with this course, or buy part’s 2 and 3 that come with complete creative builds and bundle packages to get discounts on the software as well.

IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD CREATE (IT’S ANYTHING)

Learning a new program is hard, especially when you’re trying to get something done and the tutorials are boring. I’ve been there! I know how it feels to have no idea what’s going on in your software because of bad tutorials. That’s why my intro course is different than all the others. You’ll learn by doing and following along with me as we create an entire commercial shoot from scratch using Cinema 4D and Octane render engine for 3d rendering, compositing, and animation workflows.

By taking this course you will be able to produce a finished product that can be used for portfolio pieces or even sold outright if your heart desires it. This 94 part series covers everything from installation setup, modeling, texturing/painting, lighting set ups and everything you need to retouch renders to create realistic images.

YOUR CLIENTS WILL PAY 10X FOR THIS

Do you know all the people who resisted digital photography and held onto film cause it would never be replaced? Welp, all of those people didn’t make it and went out of business. We’re half joking here, but we are serious that we believe ALL photographers should understand this process. When you know what this can do, your clients will love it.

START CREATING SOLUTIONS

You’re about to learn the basics of 3D modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering. We’ll start with a simple cube and work our way up to complex objects. This course is perfect for anyone who wants to get started with CGI or just brush up on their skills and apply them to their photography.
