Totalling over FIVE hours of intensive training, in this 11 part series you will build an ident from scratch using Cinema4D and After Effects. Tim Clapham directs you through each and every step from concept to completion.

The series will guide you through the process of dissecting and calibrating a camera from a photograph. We model some simple letters and then rig and weight them so they are suitable for animated cloth simulation.

Of course, no ID is complete without shaders, lighting and rendering. We create a complex material using multiple shaders whilst adding and finessing the lighting for the scene.

Rendering is an integral part of any project, but optimising your scene before hitting go is an essential part of the process. We examine various ways of fine tuning our settings to reduce render time without compromising on quality.

For the final chapter in Cinema 4D we configure our multipass render settings to assure we have accurate colour management using linear workflow throughout the project which ensures our renders will translate into After Effects without issues.

Before jumping into After Effects with our pre-rendered passes, we examine the AE ? Maxon Cineware feature. Cineware allows us to open our C4D file directly in AE. Tim discusses the suitability of using Cineware, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.

Finally we bring our render passes in to After Effects, using native effects (no third party effects) we grade and colour correct the various passes. Using mattes to isolate elements and depth effects from our multipass renders.

The series is broken into logical sections so you can follow along as and when you have time. To see the final result of the tutorial please check out the teaser.
