Tailored Training from £300 ex VAT*

If you’re like most of our customers, chances are you need to use only a fraction of the huge CINEMA 4D toolset to get very specific jobs done. But which tools do you need to use? And what is the most effective way to use those tools?

Tailored training is one of the most popular courses we run. Typically, you’ll send us images or animations ahead of the course of what you want to achieve. Heather, our software trainer, will assess your needs and suggest an appropriate tailored course.

Whatever you need to create, from an animated surgical procedure, to modelling and rendering a tricky-looking bottle, to using MoGraph and Dynamics, we can probably help.

Prices start from just £300 ex VAT per day. Additional costs may apply depending on your requirements. Please contact us for a quote.

Who should attend?This course is for you, if any of the following apply to you:

• You know what you want to achieve, and you want to know which tools you should use and how to use them

• You want to learn about specific tools in CINEMA 4D, such as MoGraph or Dynamics
