In this course, you’ll learn how to create masks using field-based vertex maps, modifier field planes, and field drivers. You’ll deepen your knowledge of Redshift, set up lighting and materials procedurally, work with volumetric objects and toon shading, and blend complex materials. You’ll also learn how to implement simulations for rigid and soft bodies, particles, fluids, and pyro effects such as smoke, flames, and explosions. You’ll also discover how artificial intelligence can support you in your professional work.

Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
By the end of the course, you’ll have mastered advanced 3D visualization techniques using Cinema 4D. You’ll apply simulations of rigid and soft bodies, particle simulations, liquid simulations, and pyro simulations in a targeted manner and optimize your projects for realistic renderings using the Redshift renderer.
Media designers, graphic designers, web designers, communication designers, textile designers, stage designers, exhibition stand designers, people with a degree in (interior) architecture as well as specialists from artistic professions or people who are responsible for the conception, design and practical implementation of digital and print media and want to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills.
3D visualization is used in the fields of media design, architecture, design, engineering, film, computer game development, science and nature. With the appropriate know-how, self-employment is also an interesting prospect.
Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
Virtual classroom alfaview®
Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
