great course
Não gostei, ao comprar o curso não é dito que tem de ter um programa específico. Este programa é pago, ou seja, para obter o conhecimento não tenho ferramentais acessíveis para o aprendizado. A introdução é boa. Mas não cumpriu seu papel, para mim.
Amazing tutorial, very easy to understand, great way of teaching, it takes you through some cool aspects of programs and you can develop your own forms and animations. I loved it!
--- Before Purchasing This Class ---
It's important to know that most of the Tools Used in this class are NOT available on C4D Lite Version. Tools like 'connect & delete', 'cloner' and other functions will not be there, so if you only have the lite version, you won't be able to replicate everything.
This said, Andrei is a great deisgner, a great teacher and the concepts expressed in this class are very good.
