Why Go Pro?
How Cinema 4D Pro is different..
New Content Monthly.
To keep Cinema 4D Pro up to date with all the latest workflows, tools and techniques – we add new content every month (sometimes weekly) – whether it be tutorials, project files, templates, materials or 3D models, we’re constantly adding to the course to make it bigger and better.
You decide what we teach.
Aside from covering all the most important aspects of the software, our students actually decide what content we add next. You can request a video covering a specific topic (maybe something you’ve been struggling with for a while) and we’ll try to address your questions directly. As the requests come rolling in, students also have the opportunity to vote on topics and categories we cover so content is always geared toward what you actually want to learn.

What's the difference between Pro and Insider?
Insider does not include any courses or Pro assets - Insider only gives you access to Tutorial Project Files, Selected Models and Materials (this access is still unlimited and a much better option than purchasing things separately).
Pro Membership gives you access to everything in Insider plus Courses and Pro Downloadable assets - this is our most comprehensive membership and offers great value and savings.
Pro also includes the Cinema 4D Pro Course with new content added weekly and access to the CGShortcuts Pro Private Group.
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.
