Character Tools

This is the Quickstart Tutorial for the Cinema4D character tools, a collection of tools especially for character anima-

tion. 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 requi-

res 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.
