( )dhony February 13th
I think that wrong picture at 18. Screw Driver Tutorial
( )Timothy February 13th
Decent list. I’ve seen a lot of focus on 3D rendering lately. Not sure why. Most wed development freelancers don’t have the cash for this software.
( )jimb0 February 13th
Thanks!! Cinema 4D is a beautiful program with a great rendering engine. These will help me out!
( )devlim.com February 13th
Great list, i like the no 1,2,4,23,38
( )acti0n February 13th
Really nice but I think 3DS Max with V-Ray is better
( )Catherine Tsapelik February 13th
Oh, cool! Great job Danny Outlaw! Thanks!
( )Saro February 13th
I expected a C4DTuts
( )David February 13th
Re: Cookie
That was a horrendous comment. What is someone supposed to do with feedback like that?
( )acti0n February 13th
@ Saro I know http://www.cgtuts.com is coming soon (I Dont know the Date)
There will be 3D Tutorials…
( )Russ Renshaw February 13th
C4D is such a powerful and easier to use 3D software than 3D Studio Max and I’m glad to see it’s getting some love on PSDTuts.
I guess we need a 3D Software TUTS site.
( )conrado Arduini February 13th
cool, great news
( )GFX February 13th
###nice!###
I would like to see about 3ds max also!!!!
( )John Deszell February 13th
Would be great to see some tuts using free 3d software like Blender. I used to use 3dsMax a lot in school, but I don’t have a copy of it anymore to use.
( )Mark February 13th
Cool Post. Been wanting to do a few more Cinema 4D projects recently and this is really helpful
( )Eric Shafer February 13th
Nice post, definitely. I wouldn’t mind seeing a “3DTUTS” site with tutorials on Vue, Cinema 4D, 3DSMax and Maya.
( )Artslave February 14th
Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!
( )tkdesign February 14th
if you could get some CD4 tuts for beginners that would be ace, i have the program but it confuses the hell out of me.
( )jonasll February 14th
C4D learning curve’s musch easier…. interface is also a lot more intuitive… ive modelled with 3ds max, autocad, rhino3d, maya… in C4D is probably the best overall!
great tuts for beginners
( )acti0n February 15th
I think the best gui has Maya but its too expensive… But you can Download PLE (Personal Learning Edition)…
I know its looking really hard for new users but complete some tutorials and after some time you would C4D through in the bin
But Tutorials for 3DS Max are better because its the most used CG Tool
( )the disapointed one February 15th
for photoshoppers?
( )this is C4D!
i expected for Adobe Photoshop Cs4
not c4d
gil February 15th
BEYOND E.P.I.C !!!!!!!!!
( )thank you ! PSD tuts is so full of win !
you are really good people.
Ramon February 16th
Most effects look poor, it is past of 3D, not present and not future for sure.
( )Chris February 16th
It would be great to see Envato create some fine quality ones. I’m sure they can do great C4D tuts.
( )Eric Shafer February 16th

( )Stunt February 16th

( )Skyward16 February 17th
Perfect, and for people who dont know, V-RAY exists for CINEMA 4D to!
( )I hope PSDTUTS – post more C4D tuts

( )roald April 27th
Thank you very much, they are great!
( )Unionjack November 13th
Ive just bought a new comp specially so I can use Maxon. These look great but what I need is a BASIC tut explaining the layout and uses of all the tools and settings individually and Ive gone mad googling for 1. Theres alot similar to these but theres none I need. Im an Admin on a photoshop site and that scared me also when I first opened it, now I try to teach it to peeps lol
( )HOPEFULLY this will be the same, I really want to do the animation side more but Im excited about it. Thank you for these I WILL be doing them all!!
