Cinema 4D 3D

This is not a project based tutorial. This is a 101 tutorial, which introduces you to how materials work in Cinema 4D. I will show you what layers are, and what the different parameters are. How to use them and what they do. Explain the difference between transparency and alpha, and other little details of the material system that I have learnt over time.
