Thank you good sir. This was everything

[@SetInTheWestDoc]

I'm getting into 4D, need this video, appreciate it

[@MattKander]

Welcome! Happy it helped!

I'm only 5 minutes into the video and I love it.

[@TwitchTamilan]

We will watch your career with great interest :)

[@eyedesyn]

Appreciate the shout!!!!

[@MattKander]

Most welcome!! You do amazing work!!

[@CGShortcuts]

Thanks heaps for the shout-out Matt, glad to hear we were able to help you learn C4D! Brillint video btw, great to hear about your journey, all the best mate!

[@charlottefoster5848]

This video is the greatest, two weeks into learning C4D and I've already come back to it four times for the recommendations. Thank you!

[@LiveInFocus999]

i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.

[@marianalattaro143]

Thank you Matt. Your content really helped me to have a vision about where to start my jorney with Cinema 4D.

[@OxyFe]

This seriously inspired me to come back to Cinema! I was learning it long ago, and now I know how to work with the basics, but I haven't gone further with my learning since I went to After Effects. Seeing your work and how passionate you were about it made me want to start learning it again! Thank you for all the recommendations on where to start!

[@MegWayne]

Thank you so much for making this video! Funnily enough, I work at Webflow and worked on the Lottie launch (I'm more of an After Effects animator but learning C4D to expand my skillset) so absolutely love that you're leveraging 3D for websites! Again, thank you for this, I had such a hard time finding a general advice video in the huge pool of tutorials here on KZbin.

[@MattKander]

Omg that’s so so cool!! Thank you for your work on that it’s such an incredible feature! Feel free to dm me on Insta / LinkedIn for any cinema 4D chats (made my day)

[@WheresWilko]

Legend, I'm a fellow Kiwi starting the Cinema 4D journey. So thank you for sharing this.

[@james1327]

Really like your videos. Im also from Auckland, worked in silicon valley, got burnt out and now live in Europe and am trying to find my mojo again. Did not expect a video to pop up from you about c4d. Thanks for your content, it´s really great.

[@kirstcurrie]

Thanks for your suggestions, Matt!

[@acabtitano4631]

honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it

[@stephanez]

Man you are so kind doing this video !!! Thanks 🥲

[@Apedesigns]

Thanks for your he info bout to start my cinema 4d journey ❤

[@KztrinAlejandro]

Man I have been trying to learn the program for a while, this video is gonna be super helpful, thanks a lot!

[@MattKander]

Enjoy and have fun!

[@daphnewang7724]

Thanks a lot for making this video, I am planning to start learning cinema 4D and I wasn't so sure how to start so I'm really glad I've found your video!

[@MattKander]

So am I! Enjoy the process and good luck!

[@thegamingexec]

This is a Prometheus level contribution

[@mmrzkva]

Thank you for quick guidance and motivation to kick start C4D. I think I should thank my 7y.o laptop as well for going through all hardships with me through out other graphic programs throughout these years

[@asterixace2076]

Learned the basics of C4D at university while studying photography but never went into real detail while using it, trying to find my niche for C4D and stuck on where to begin but this video helped alot!

[@fabianw2k]

Im Running octane on the M2 Apple silicon and it works perfect!

[@MrluisV3000]

Awesome video bro. I know I’m late but thank you. I’m just starting with C4D.

[@mickey5073]

This channel is gonna grow big! So much value u shared. Thank u so mcuh

[@MattKander]

Thanks for the faith! Haha

[@phillipgoat00]

Dude I found you watching your burnout programmer video. Hope you keep posting videos. big fan of your work.

[@MattKander]

Thanks Jose! Will keep on posting ;-)

[@ArthurBizkit]

Came here not expecting much as I thought it would be just one of "those" videos. But Damn, this was extremely helpful! Thanks for taking us on your journey.

[@SHIVAM.M.S]

Same here! 💯 I wish I had this video when I was getting started with C4D cause now it's been 3/4 Years I learned all myself and hunting down internet and now I'm currently working for SAMSUNG INDIA!

[@ALEXAWRIGHT]

This is super helpful! I’ve recently started learning Cinema 4D and will refer back to this video. Thank you.

[@MattKander]

Most welcome! The exact reason I made the video haha best of luck!

[@Monad.x]

This is amazing! You just pointed out every thing that I wanted to know and not one single video has explained that! Thank you. Would you be able to recommend a PC rig thats not too expensive just to do the renders?

[@neonn8876]

i5 - GTX 1650 - 8GB RAM and SSD/HDD

[@thecakeisapie5148]

I’d go for 16gb of ram minimum, typically you have at least a few programs you need to work in out side of c4d and 8gb will NOT hold up for that kind of work

[@IsaacAOV1997]

Thank you so much for this material. It was really useful, I don't usually write in the comments, but you deserve it. Congrats for this achivement!

[@MattKander]

Thanks so much for taking the time to post, comment was much appreciated!

Hey Matt, just wanted to say like a bunch of others on here, this video was great mate. I'm also more of an After Effects animator but want to add 3D to my skills. This video was so helpful dude so appreciate it!

[@caduprimola]

Thank you mate! Great tips... I will start my first month just now!

[@MattKander]

Well done mate! Enjoy

[@gabrielnormandroy1018]

This is a really helpful video Matt. I'm trying to learn Cinema 4D because I'm leaning towards motion design work and these are some great ressources. Eyedesyn in particular I have followed for a bit and he does fantastic stuff. I have been going through Don Mupasi Skillshare class for a month or so and it's probably the best introduction to C4D for next to nothing spent. Cheers!

[@MattKander]

100%, Don has made some absolutely killer content. He's my fav cinema4D teacher by far.

[@syedmehdiabbas4651]

Man i was so lost this has motivated me to do c4d i will give my 100% from now on

[@MattKander]

You got this!

[@KabeeshS]

So beautiful Matt, Loved it thoroughly.. gonna start my journey in cinema 4d and gonna keep you posted.

[@MattKander]

Please do!

[@reneseib6532]

thankyou for breaking down this video into easy to understand info, super helpful

[@ChagaThunder]

I'm buying it and starting now, thanks for the info , great video 👍😎

[@analuiza2677]

Thanks so much! I'm also a software developer and I am looking for something to expand my knowledge and make my jobs look more creative.

[@milesfabishak2354]

Matt, this was such a helpful video for me. I’ve been putting off learning cinema for years! I mean I know a little bit as a motion graphics artist but nothing to the extent of what you’re producing. I received some grant money that I’d like to use to invest in a custom PC. I’m an original Mac fanboy but need the extra power for third party renders. Anyways thanks for the tips! Def bookmarking this video.

[@MattKander]

Hey Miles, thank you so much for the comment! This video took a tonne of effort to put together over a few months so positive feedback like this really makes it worthwhile. Thank you!

[@mostafaabdelaziz2316]

I am in high school 17 years old and just wanted to learn cinema 4D as its the way I can model and animate what I imagine in my mind and its pretty fun to do so I started learning adobe's Softwares and spent 3 years on them and element 3D in AE but I learnt alot about cameras ,keyframes and animation and then I told my self to try cinema 4D...still beginner and trying to learn it this summer and I hope to have atleast a good experience in it

[@JoshMcGeechan]

Really thorough and useful video. I'm just considering embarking on the learning process. Thanks Matt!

[@KALUVADADA]

you record with hardware outside of the program. Great tutorial btw it was very detailed but still just right for beginners.

Wait, I live in Auckland New Zealand! Lol i was very surprised when u said that. I'm interested in realistic CGI, and have learnt the basics of Blender and am trying other programs like C4D.

[@MattKander]

G’day! Hope you’re enjoying the cold haha

[@roamlikekane]

What kind of application of c4d do you use in industry exactly? Regarding your job as a motion designer, are they bumpers or ad campaigns or other? Please specify or better yet, can you do a career option video on what one can do for clients or in a motion designer role?

[@boriskuznetsov9900]

Great Video, thanks a lot!

[@vedatsozen]

i watched until 6 minutes 13 seconds, i still did not learn how to start. where to start. i am continuing to watch :)

I'm new to 3D world so I have ceratin questions if you can answer those: - Can we create the new soft body animation in blender which is free - If not then which C4D version to buy maxon,redshift or something else

[@thinhvo255]

Thank you for sharing your experience ! Such a lovely and quality content. I initially started with those popular photo editor software and moved on to 3D world with C4D. Would you mind recommending some sources for creating abstract art? something random and spontaneous. Thank you once again !

[@MCostanza47]

Is this still a relative comprehensive guide up to date for 2023?

[@MattKander]

I'd say so yes!

[@samr-yj3ey]

i wasted lot of time to choose b/w cinema blender max arnold octane to start 3d modelling; now c4d + redshift its look best '''''''thank you''''''

[@hyeongchoi1324]

Thank you Matt for sharing the journey! I started learning Cinema 4d based on your guide. I am amazed about your work particularly on 0:31 (the one that looks like dark space), do you mind share where you learned that style of art?

[@lexdesign7371]

Thank you so much

[@VideoJoy]

i should learn c4d or blender for vfx and motion graphics freelancing purpose.

keep going, champ!
