Such a pity, the software used for 3D, Cinema 4D, is quite expensive and just for a course I am not going to buy it. Although the software has a Lite trial version, the Create / Modelling / Spline mask used in the first lesson is already not available in the trial version. Unfortunately, I can't keep going with the course. I wish this had been done on Blender (open source) instead.
Thanks for putting it together in any case.
Best wishes,
Julia
