emmanuelatas: Can I use a MINI LAPTOP system with 2gig RAM to work well with After effects and cinema 4D? Thanks...

Yes you can work with cinema 4d and aftereffects with ur mini laptop but when you start doing really dynamic works u will have to upgrade. But for a start up it should do

Ops if I want to create a face must I draw it first or not

Not really, if u have a good eye, but its important to get a reference in ur scene so u can get an accurate model, if u can draw yes, if can't u can get a character blue print online nd tweak to what u have in ur head

My problem is where to draw it and make it a reference, Plus my Network is very bad can't get online videos

Thanks for dis thread.... I recently bought C4D maxxon, bt i dnt knw how to use it or get someone to teach me. Pls can u help me with the tutorial?

kiki1000: My problem is where to draw it and make it a reference, Plus my Network is very bad can't get online videos

You can draw it on a piece of paper nd scan it into your computer or if u have a tablet you can draw it straight to ur pc nd use it as a texture reference in cinema 4d

Well in graphics, a portion of each pixel's data that is reserved for transparency information. 32-bit
graphics systems contain four channels -- three 8-
bit channels for red, green, and blue (RGB) and
one 8-bit alpha channel. The alpha channel is
really a mask-- it specifies how the pixel's colors
should be merged with another pixel when the
two are overlaid, one on top of the other.
Typically, you wouldn't define the alpha channel
on a pixel-by-pixel basis, but rather per object.
Different parts of the object would have different
levels of transparency depending on how much
you wanted the background to show through. In a nut shell alpha channel is how transparent a object is or how transparent u want it. An object with an alpha channel is a mask of that object. Hope that helped

okay, that got me a little dizzy, but I'll keep reading it. it might make sense eventually.

Cineware is an inbuilt plug-in that comes with newest versions of cinema 4d the allows you to ability to open cinema 4d file in after effects, no its not necessary for composing but it helps in making you work faster
