Why Go Pro?
How Cinema 4D Pro is Different.
New Content Weekly.
To keep Cinema 4D Pro up to date with all the latest workflows, tools and techniques – we add new content every week – whether it be tutorials, project files, templates, materials or 3D models, we’re constantly adding to the course to make it bigger and better.

What's the difference between Pro Lifetime and Yearly vs Monthly?
Pro Lifetime and Yearly include all courses and digital assets we have to offer (check above for full list of courses - does not include collab courses or courses by third parties).
Pro Monthly gives you access to everything Pro Lifetime and Yearly offer but with only the one course included (Cinema 4D Pro - with new content added weekly) and does not include the Redshift Material Library.
What Software do I need?​
There are many courses included in Pro 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.
How do I become a member?

Do you offer refunds on membership?
It's super rare, but yes;) We do offer refunds on Yearly and Lifetime Memberships only - full details on our refunds page.
