Want to take your work to the next level? Embark on an insightful journey with Timo Helgert as he guides you through the surreal world of art and helps you reach beyond your creative limits!
Get to know everything from basic 3D tools, useful theories, and setting up scenes to fully animating them so you can bring your surreal dream worlds to life. You’ll even learn how to create your very own unique assets!

Class Highlights:
– Create a Surreal Scene with C4D
What you can do with Cinema4D is unreal and limitless. Learn to build and animate everything from the smallest elements to an entire scene and bring surreal scenes from your dreams to life.
– Coloso Timo Helgert Introduction
Learn After Effects Magic
After Effects is like magic powder. Adding just a pinch will make your scene much more aesthetic. By the end of this class, you’ll be able to use After Effects to composite and create exciting transitions of your own.
– Engage with Your Audience
Learn new ways to engage with your audience because, in the end, that’s what art is all about. This class will help you communicate better with them and step up your game as a 3D artist.

Class Details:
– 2D to 3D Transition
Turn static 2D photos into dynamic 3D worlds. I will also reveal the lazy approach to creating photorealistic models using 3D-scanned textures.
– Creating and Animating Nature in C4D
Create nature elements like grass and wildflowers, and animate them in C4D. Then find out how to "prepare" the assets for your artwork.
