This guide presents simplified methods for using Cinema 4D 9.1 and 9.5 software to model objects, apply texturing to them, light them in a scene, animate the scene and characters, and render the final product for use in broadcast applications and video games. Topics of the 30 tutorials include UV polygons in BodyPaint, placing a table cloth on a table, a bowling dynamics simulation, and walking characters. The DVD-ROM contains video tutorials, image textures, 3D models, project files, and demonstration software. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
