WEEK 217 · CATALOG

Cinema 4D tutorials — version-stamped, render-engine tagged, under 15 minutes each.

A working catalog for intermediate and advanced C4D artists. Every tutorial is stamped with its Cinema 4D build (R2024 / S26 / R25), its render engine (Redshift / Octane / Physical / Cycles), and a difficulty rating — so you can judge relevance in under two seconds and get back to the project.

  • 12,400+scene files in the library
  • 14 minaverage runtime, by design
  • 1,200+free Redshift/Octane PBR materials
  • 60+studio jobs refreshed every Monday

FILTER BY BUILD & ENGINE

Browse by C4D version and render engine

Working artists skip content they can't run. These are the two filters that actually save you time on a deadline Monday morning.

482

R2024

The current shipping build. Includes Voronoi 3D Fracture, the rebuilt node editor and the Fields-driven simulation pipeline.

  • Redshift 3.5
  • Octane 2024
  • Physical
  • Cycles

S26

The subscription release. Same engine support, plus the Scene Node workflow. Most studios here haven't migrated from R23 yet.

  • Redshift 3.5
  • Octane 2023
  • Physical

R25

Still the workhorse at half the studios we surveyed. We keep stamping R25 because artists haven't been given the upgrade budget.

  • Redshift 3.0
  • Octane 2022
  • Physical

100

R23 & earlier

Legacy archive. Same techniques, documented against the UI those of us stuck on perpetual licenses still open every morning.

  • Redshift 2.6
  • Octane 2021
  • Physical

WHAT SHIPS WITH EVERY TUTORIAL

Every tutorial ships with the .c4d file, transcript, and version notes.

You don't learn Cinema 4D from a video. You learn it by opening a scene, breaking it, and rebuilding it. That's why every entry in the catalog includes the actual project file — alongside a transcript, a version-compatibility table, and a direct cross-link to the matching Redshift/Octane material pack entry.

  • Downloadable .c4d fileOpen it in your build, check the take numbers, trace the XPresso. Same file the author used to record.
  • Toggleable transcriptSearchable, time-coded, with technique keywords highlighted — so you can jump to the offset without scrubbing.
  • Version compatibility notesCross-link to "this technique also works on R25 + Octane 2022" so you don't waste time finding out the hard way.
  • Linked material pack entryEvery texture and shader used in the tutorial links to its entry in the free 1,200+ Redshift/Octane PBR material library.
