C4D Essential Motion Graphics: Redshift Lighting techniques

Join us every Monday in February as Maxon Master Trainers Lionel Vicidomini, Dustin Valkema and Jonas Pilz take us through essential techniques for motion graphic designers, using Cinema 4D and Redshift.

Week 3
Master Trainer Dustin Valkema walks us through Redshift lighting techniques. Dustin will show us his design process using Cinema 4D and Redshift, then take us into Photoshop to demonstrate time-saving methods to improve your final renders in post-production.
