Must have for every Cinema 4D User
Great and really helpful Tutorials. It's a huge advantage to have a knowledge base like this. And in addition to this, you can ask for specific help on specific problems or tasks.

Someone to turn to when you're stuck.
I've found that when I hit a brick wall, I want someone to turn to for a solution. I found CG Shortcuts, and that changed. I throw various questions at Dave and get answers right away.

A great place to kickstart your Cinema 4D learning!
CG Shortcuts has been great in learning different routes in Cinema 4D. Their videos are easy to understand. I think CG Shortcuts tutorials are the best value for money in the world of paid C4D learning!

I love CG Shortcuts
Their short informative videos show you not only how to create a thing in C4D, Octane, and Redshift but are excellent for showing you the concepts behind creating things. I would not be as fluent in C4D and Redshift without Dave and CG Shortcuts.

Understanding the details inside C4D
Great attention to detail with a calm and confident personality. I bought the lifetime membership because Dave creates looks that are intriguing to me. I like how available he is when you have questions.

Content quality
The video materials are very well made, and each lesson includes step-by-step explanations and working files for practice. The instructors are professionals with vast experience. I recommend this site to anyone interested in Cinema 4D.
“I wanted to make Cinema 4D easier to learn — without forcing you to spend years figuring out what actually matters.”
