LIVE Project Breakdown | Glass and Gradient FX

Live project breakdowns every month with Elly Wade (@itwaselly).

Join Maxon Trainer Elly Wade for her July livestream, where she'll be breaking down how to create beautiful glass and gradient effects in Cinema 4D and Redshift. Including a deep dive of Transmission and Subsurface shaders, designing unique gradients, and even how to incorporate typography into your textures.
