Making It Look Great 6 – Review
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.
Bought it couple of weeks ago, but havent had the time yet to watch it! Will do shortly though! Good job!
I just finished reading the review, your training sounds excellent. A question – if you were an AE user for 9+ years, but had never used a “true 3D” software before, which would you choose to learn? AE is my bread and butter software and I’ve used Zaxwerks and Trapcode and Boris plug-ins to create 3D elements for years. I do mostly corporate motion graphics work and digital signage. I’d love to add some “real” 3D. Which software would you choose for a single workstation on the Mac platform? I’m a company of one so cost is a factor albeit relatively minor. Thanks!
Hi
I am probably biased and would recommend Cinema4D. It has great integration with After Effects. Perhaps more sound advice would be to download the demos for the different 3D apps you are interested in and try them for yourself. See what resources are available and which application you feel suits your workflow best. You’ll probably still pick cinema4D, especially if you are using AE a lot and creating Motion Graphics, but trying them out has got to be the best way to decide.
Good luck!
Thanks Tim. That’s the same advice I’d give if someone asked me. I’ll make Cinema4D the first one I try and see how it goes.
