C4D + Redshift Training: 3D Rendering for VFX & Games

This is a online course so you will get access to all recorded video chapters and you can study them anytime, anywhere and without any deadlines. The whole course was recorded in Cinema 4D and Redshift, but of course you can follow along if you use Blender, Maya, Houdini or 3DS Max, since Redshift is almost the same across platforms. 

The course will go step by step through all of the Redshift shaders and their parameters to help you better understand how you can apply them on your 3D models. In addition it will show you more advanced techniques such as how to build new textures directly in Redshift, make fully procedural materials, create masks for models without UVs and much more.
