[ 01 — WHAT LANDS IN YOUR INBOX ]

A predictable package. Every Tuesday.

The brief is short by design. Three sections, every issue, no surprises — so you know exactly what you’re giving up ten seconds of your inbox for.

  1. 01

    Version-stamped tutorials

    One curated Cinema 4D tutorial per issue, every UI element tagged with the exact release it was recorded in — R2024, S26 or R25 — so you never waste an afternoon hunting menus that moved.

    ~14 min·Redshift / Octane / Physical·Project file included
  2. 02

    Production-ready scene files

    Two downloadable .c4d projects per issue — rigged characters, lighting setups, motion-graphic templates — pulled from the 12,400-file library and hand-checked by our editors before they ship.

  3. 03

    Monday-refreshed job leads

    The freshest studio openings from Buck, Giant Ant, Psyop, B-Reel and 60+ other shops — refreshed every Monday, never recycled, no “entry-level” filler. Senior, mid, and freelance roles only.

[ 02 — WHY IT STILL PULLS 47K ]

Curated by working C4D artists. Not content marketing.

C4D Portal started in 2015 in a Berlin studio apartment, founded by Maxon Certified Trainer Lukas Behrens because the Cinema 4D community had no focused hub — only generalist 3D blogs that treated C4D as a checkbox. Ten years later we’re still a team of 11 full-time editors, all working C4D artists on real client work, writing the brief we’d want to read ourselves.

That’s the whole pitch. No “10x your renders” promises, no AI-flavoured courses, no guru funnels. Every tutorial is version-stamped. Every scene file opens. Every job lead is checked. We’ve been featured in Greyscalegorilla’s 2023 community roundup and partnered with Maxon for official plugin distribution since 2019 — not because we’re the official site, but because the community voted with their inbox for a decade.
