The class covers the following topics and more that you can use for your animation and motion graphics projects in general such as:

Creating on ocean simulation using a free plugin for Cinema 4D called Hot4D
Rigging & animating characters with a free tool by Adobe called MIXAMO
Camera animation in Cinema 4D
How to instal 3rd party plugins in Cinema 4D & Integrate them in your user interface
Creating a scene & animation that loops seamlessly
A cinematic lighting style in with Redshift Render in Cinema 4D
Atmospheric and fog effects with Redshift Render
Output/render settings from Cinema 4D & Redshift. Optimizing for both quality & speed
Importing the rendered sequence/s into Adobe After Effects
Using Adobe After Effects for the finishing touches, applying glow effects and color adjustments.
The best final export settings in Adobe Premiere Pro for Instagram and YouTube.

The class is probably more suitable for intermediate to advanced users buts its also detailed enough that beginners should be able to follow along without too many problems either. If you get suck on any part of the class, you can ask your question under the class and I will answer your question as soon as possible. Remember to share a screen with your question which will make it easier to understand the question!

If the class is too advanced, no need to worry! I have several other and more beginner friendly classes for Cinema 4D on my profile, one of which is a complete masterclass aimed at absolute beginners and people who have never opened the software before. You could start there and then come back to this class after!

Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
