The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from LinkedIn Learning. Mograph Techniques: Creating a Flat Vector Look using Cinema 4D and After Effects is taught by Eran Stern.

Overview
  • Learn how to create animated 2D elements in 3 dimensions, using CINEMA 4D and After Effects.

    Creating flat vector-based artwork that moves along the X, Y, and Z planes is a fun and beautiful way to give an animated infographic style and energy. You can mimic this 2D look with a 3D animation-like feel using the power of CINEMA 4D and After Effects combined. Artist Eran Stern shows mograph artists how to achieve this simple style of rendering using a series of project-based examples: a sophisticated particle reaction, a complex DNA chain sequence, a button, and a coin animation.
