Using the Takes System to Create Variation in CINEMA 4D

by Justin Marshall

In this course, we will learn to use the new Takes system in CINEMA 4D to create variation in our scenes with a very flexible workflow. Software required: CINEMA 4D R17.

In this course, you'll learn to use the new Takes system in CINEMA 4D to add this kind of flexibility to your workflow. Software required: CINEMA 4D R17.
