Learn to create express animations for social media
Zigor Samaniego, who you may know from other Domestika courses such as Express Introduction to 3D: From Zero to Render with Cinema 4D and 3D Lettering: Modelling and Texturizing with Cinema 4D, has been working as a 3D illustrator for many years and has built his own style that has been sought out by clients such as Prada, American Express, Nestlé, and Wired. During this time, Zigor has built his own ecosystem full of characters, many of them animated, who tell their own story and have already become a trademark.
These three-dimensional characters make constant appearances on his social media, helping Zigor show the world how he works. In this online course, he teaches you how to make the most of all the possibilities that Cinema 4D offers you to create 3D animations, simply and quickly, and that help you make your projects stand out on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Illustrators, designers, animators, and anyone with an interest in 3D, animation, and motion graphics.
Requirements and materials
It is necessary to have basic knowledge of Cinema 4D, After Effects, or any other video post-production program.
As for materials, you need a computer with Cinema 4D and After Effects. For the renders, Zigor uses Cinema 4D and Octane, but you can choose the one you like the most, since in this course the most important thing is the animation.
New to Adobe After Effects? In that case, we recommend taking Domestika Basics courses to learn how to use the software: Introduction to After Effects.
