Description
Yes, this is my first tutorial.Ill admit this one is kinda... wordy... but thats becouse I want everyone who will be following my Tutorials in the future to know all the the basic stuff, so when I refer to them later, people know what Im talking about.
~Cinema 4D the Extream Basics~
This is all of the very basic stuff that Cinema 4D can do. Granted there is some stuff that may be more advanced, and a lot of basic stuff that isnt in there, but for the most part, this is what you need to know to get the basic stuff done.
This Tutorial consists of 5 Parts.
-Part 1: The Layout
-Part 2: Primitives
-Part 3: Materials
-Part 4: Lighting
-Part 5: Rendering
Each part consists of 1-5 sections.
Note: This Tutotial was origanaly made for a computer class Im in, so if theres any refrences to that kind of thing... just ignor it.
Other then that, and this is the important part:
If you find any mistakes, and/or feel I left somthing out that realy should be in there, PLEASE TELL ME
Thats the only way its going to get better!!
So... I hope you like! Enjoy!

There, thats a direct link to it. Now, if it loads but its a blank page, that may mean you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed wrong. Make sure you have all of the right plugins for your browser too.
I choose to put it in PDF format, becouse many computers already have whats nessesary to view them.

You will need a PDF reeder, such as Foxit Reader, or Adobe Acrobat Reader. Then after you have one of those, hover over the side of the picture, and you will see a "download" link. Click download, and open the PDF file.
