Cinema 4D Particles: The Basics – Demystifying Post-Production – Week 1

Join the Maxon Training Team for an exciting first episode of our Demystifying Post-Production series about new Cinema 4D Particles, which is extremely flexible, easy to set up, and super-fast. We will explore basic concepts of the new particle system while creating some cool setups.
