Dave has been extremely prompt in answering my email questions, and his support made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Great and really helpful Tutorials. It's a huge advantage to have a knowledge base like this. And in addition to this, you can ask for specific help on specific problems or tasks.

Love CGShortcuts! Their straightforward approach in the tutorials allows you to easily learn and implement complex techniques very fast. The support team is always willing to solve any doubts along the way.

The lessons are clear, well-structured, and really easy to follow. The instructor is super knowledgeable and always helpful. I highly recommend CG Shortcuts to anyone who wants to learn 3D.
I've found that when I hit a brick wall, I want someone to turn to for a solution. I found CG Shortcuts, and that changed. I throw various questions at Dave and get answers right away.

I've never regretted my membership at CG Shortcuts. In addition to the constantly updated training courses, I have access to a regularly expanding collection of solutions. This is what I imagine a good training platform to be!

The content is incredibly well-structured, clear, and easy to follow. The instructor breaks down complex concepts in a way that makes them feel approachable. Great thing is you can request any tutorial and Dave will guide you.

CG Shortcuts has been great in learning different routes in Cinema 4D. Their videos are easy to understand. I think CG Shortcuts tutorials are the best value for money in the world of paid C4D learning!
Their short informative videos show you not only how to create a thing in C4D, Octane, and Redshift but are excellent for showing you the concepts behind creating things. I would not be as fluent in C4D and Redshift without Dave and CG Shortcuts.
Great attention to detail with a calm and confident personality. I bought the lifetime membership because Dave creates looks that are intriguing to me. I like how available he is when you have questions.

The video materials are very well made, and each lesson includes step-by-step explanations and working files for practice. The instructors are professionals with vast experience. I recommend this site to anyone interested in Cinema 4D.
