Last week, the Virtual Reality students started their introduction to Cinema Maxon 4-D. Cinema Maxon 4-D is a 3-D modeling program that is used for animation. Many animation companies use it for creating full length movies such as the Polar Express. I love Cinema Maxon 4-D although the learning curve is quite high. Many of the functions are completely new and often these functions do not do what is expected.
My students were charged with the task of creating a 3-D professional text. They watched a tutorial and created the following images http://animoto.com/play/vKVJ3ukgtUH9eeeDzB8EyA. The beauty of Cinema Maxon 4-D is that students can export their creations into a JPEG format (as they did here) or into Movie format once we integrate animation in. Many students often find the program challenging. As students spend more time learning the program though they find that it has a lot of useful features and the ability to do some amazing things.
