Character Tools
This is the Quickstart Tutorial for the CINEMA 4D character tools, a collection of tools especially for character
animation. CINEMA 4D includes a complete toolset for character animation. Many of these tools are available
in all packages and some are available only in CINEMA 4D Studio.
1. Introduction
3D character animation is a complex subject. It not only challenges the software but the animator as well.
Almost anyone can quickly create a character that moves in one way or another, but a convincing character
animation requires quite a bit more work. The animator needs to know the theory behind character animation
before he or she can judge whether or not the animation is good or bad.
