Totally recommend. Top resources for 3D. I absolutely love it!
Their tutorials are well designed, informative, practical, and succinct. As a member, they help troubleshoot and identify issues with your own projects. It's extremely helpful to have that support, especially when you have unique issues that aren't addressed in other online tutorials.
Goldmine of tutorial for beginners! Tutorials are easy to follow and explains the process really really well. And if you ever need anything more, Dave (the owner I believe?) is more than willing to help you out, patient and friendly guy.
CG Shortcuts do great concise tutorials based on people’s requests. I especially appreciate that they answer any specific queries about Cinema 4D. This is great for anyone who is self-taught.
Great experience, Dave super attentive to our requests and need, tutorials are very well explained. Masterclass here!
Game-Changing Octane Render Course - Highly Recommended! Just completed an amazing Octane Render course that completely transformed my rendering skills! The instructor's expertise and teaching style were excellent, making complex concepts easy to understand. The course's hands-on approach with practical examples and assignments was invaluable. From scene setup to lighting and material creation, everything was covered comprehensively. Highly recommend this course to elevate your Octane Render #OctaneRender #GameChanger #HighlyRecommended
Dave (proprietor) has some of the best Cinema 4D tutorials out there. Why is this? His tutorials are focused on real world problems and how best to solve them. He explains things by showing some intuitive approaches that almost get there but have issues, then he explains how to overcome those issues. This is just like how you experiment and find the best solution, so his tutorial style seems natural. I love this! His PRO membership seems expensive, but it's totally worth because you get access to all of his tutorials and that's worth its weight in gold. I can highly recommend subscribing to his site because the value you are going to get is going to pay for itself in the years to come.
Really very good courses I recommend that all must take this course for improve there skills CGSHORTCUT are the best.

Yearly and Lifetime
Monthly
There are many tutorials included with membership, covering mainly Cinema 4D, Redshift and Octane. We also look at Daz Studio and a few small plugins. Cinema 4D is really the only software you need though - Redshift now comes free with the software (CPU version) so we recommend using Redshift Renderer (however most renderers are very similar these days so the concepts shown in either renderer will be applicable to the other.
You can get a free trial version of Cinema 4D and Redshift here.
7am – 3pm Sunday to Thursday AEST (UTC +10). We're based in Australia.
