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.

I've never regretted my membership at CG Shortcuts. In addition to the constantly updated training courses, I have access to a regularly expanding collection of solutions. This is what I imagine a good training platform to be!

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!

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.

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.
