    thank you. when are you going to launch c4dtuts.com? would be great.

  12. UrbanCool says:

    @Cookie…. whether they are horrible examples or not, give the author(s) some credit… they don’t HAVE to give tutorials ya know!

    I for one… thank each and every author for their part in producing such an awesome list of tutorials in a program i’ve been looking into getting into! lol

  13. steini says:

  14. Simon Potter says:

    Great timing on this…I’ve been looking for good examples of getting vector paths into C4D for a logo design im doing

  15. Mojito says:

    A simple walk-through for total beginner would be a great use. Anyway those tuts gave me a kick to start messing around with C4D. Thanks

  16. aMs says:

  22. dhony says:

    I think that wrong picture at 18. Screw Driver Tutorial

  23. Timothy says:

    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.

  24. jimb0 says:

    Thanks!! Cinema 4D is a beautiful program with a great rendering engine. These will help me out!

  25. devlim.com says:

    Great list, i like the no 1,2,4,23,38

  26. acti0n says:

    Really nice but I think 3DS Max with V-Ray is better ;)

  27. Catherine Tsapelik says:

    Oh, cool! Great job Danny Outlaw! Thanks!

  28. Saro says:

    I expected a C4DTuts :)

  29. David says:

    Re: Cookie

    That was a horrendous comment. What is someone supposed to do with feedback like that? :P

  30. acti0n says:

    @ Saro I know http://www.cgtuts.com is coming soon (I Dont know the Date)

    There will be 3D Tutorials…

  31. Russ Renshaw says:

    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.

  32. conrado Arduini says:

    cool, great news

  33. GFX says:

    ###nice!###

    I would like to see about 3ds max also!!!!

  34. John Deszell says:

    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.

  35. Mark says:

    Cool Post. Been wanting to do a few more Cinema 4D projects recently and this is really helpful

  36. Eric Shafer says:

    Nice post, definitely. I wouldn’t mind seeing a “3DTUTS” site with tutorials on Vue, Cinema 4D, 3DSMax and Maya.

  37. Artslave says:

    Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!

  38. tkdesign says:

    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.

  39. jonasll says:

    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

  40. acti0n says:

    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 ;)

  41. the disapointed one says:

    for photoshoppers?
    this is C4D!
    i expected for Adobe Photoshop Cs4
    not c4d

  42. gil says:

    BEYOND E.P.I.C !!!!!!!!!
    thank you ! PSD tuts is so full of win !
    you are really good people.

  43. Ramon says:

    Most effects look poor, it is past of 3D, not present and not future for sure.

  44. Chris says:

    It would be great to see Envato create some fine quality ones. I’m sure they can do great C4D tuts.

  45. Skyward16 says:

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