In this 2-day course delegates will discover how this intuitive 3D package can be used for creating amazing still images for print and amazing video for broadcast, TV, web and film. Coupled with Cinema 4Ds easy interface and logical workflow it's possible for those new to 3D artistry to be producing hi-end 3D scenes quickly.

This course is taught by Matt O'Neill who has just finished working on a decently epic project, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens... a theatre show... with a sizable budget and probably more technology crammed into a tent than has ever been attempted for a stage show before.
