I’m sure all of you out there are familiar with the fantastic work that Trish and Chris Meyer offer the After Effects community through their website, Pro Video Coalition, the AE List and of course their awesome Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects books series.

I studied Creating Motion Graphics Edition One years ago when it was first released and it is incredible the amount of information they pack into those pages. I still have a copy of CMG Edition 4 sitting here on my desk right now. It is most definitely the bible for any Motion Graphics artist who uses Adobe After Effects.

Trish has recently posted a review on Pro Video Coalition of Making It Look Great 6, the latest Cinema4D training that I have released as part of the Motionworks Making It Look Great Series.

So if you are interested in buying the training and are looking for a review then head on over to Pro Video Coalition for an in depth review that spans three long pages.

Many thanks to Trish for spending the time to go through Making It Look Great and writing such a glowing review.

I think everyone is familiar with the Target Tag in Cinema4D. However, did you know that the Constraint Tag offers a target feature too? The Aim parameter of the Constraint Tag is far more feature rich than the Target Tag. It is certainly worth checking out.

If you are not familiar with using the Constraint Tag, then head on over to Vimeo to watch this short tutorial as an introduction to the benefits of the Constraint Tag over the Target Tag.

Hopefully it will point you in the right direction . . . Boom boom!
