Last class we learned a little about Cinema 4D's interface and how to create primitives. Once we knew how to create a primitive, we then learned how to Extrude and Inner Extrude our primitives. We also learned how to manipulate primitives via their Faces, Points and Lines.

First assignment: Our objective was to learn how to animate objects using other work views and parenting. We created a rectangular cube primitive, then created four spheres (by copying and pasting from 1 original sphere). Next, we parented those spheres to the rectangle, and using alternative views, we were able to move the spheres under the rectangle to simulate a car. Once we finished modeling our car, we learned about animation and framing, by moving the car around within 90 frames of animations using key frames.
