Thanks to a friend of mine, who is a member of this community, I decided to join. I am a kind of Medieval painter who discovered computers some two years ago and who got fascinated by 3D because of its sculpting possibilities. Being on a budget, I chose for C4DArt7, but I do intend to upgrade to 8, most probably basic (with the Advanced renderer) within the early bird period.
It was difficult for me to find a door that led into Cinema's labyrinth, but I did find my own way to learn and play, and that's what I do right now. The tuts in the book are ok, but I do need an overview before I can dive in. I can't fill in values without having an idea of what and why. Therefore I started with primitives and deformers, trying out all possible settings. Etc etc.
Hypernurbs are fascinating, but I feel very attracted to real construction modelling too.
Yet one of the most fascinating things, as far as I'm concerned, is, or: are, Bhodinut SLA. They are what Kai's Powertools are to Photoshop.
I do hope to become an active member of this community, but at first my main activity will be asking questions.
