Maxon Cinema 4D is a flexible and powerful modeling, animation, and rendering tool. It's used to create a wide variety of images, including special effects, broadcast titles, character animations, and more. In fact, many features available in version 7 can only be found in animation packages costing twice the price or more. In addition, Cinema 4D has comparatively low hardware requirements, compared to similar software packages. It can be used with a Power Macintosh, Windows 98, 2000, and Windows NT. This guide provides a thorough introduction to the software, while the companion CD contains a demo version of Cinema 4D, as well as sample scenes and animations from the book.
