I can't attest to the service agreement portion, but I would say that there are plenty of other sites and services out there for training that are a LOT cheaper than the $300 Cineversity thing.

I learned pretty much most of the ins and outs of C4d in about a month using Lynda.com and other online tutorials only.  Spend some time each day trying new things, etc, and you'll basically feel adept after a month or two..

I hadn't really done 3d in a while, and my previous experience was with 3dsmax, and a little bit of Maya.. C4d was so intuitive when it comes to how the object manager works, and everything is non-destructive and works on layers (similar to PS, in my mind) so you can turn on and off layers , and reorganize them to see how they affect one another, etc.

Good luck! I think you'll enjoy working with Cinema4D

I'm getting ready to purchase 2 licenses of the broadcast bundle for work, to use with AE. I've never used Cinema 4D. It's been a few years since I've done any 3D and that was on Softimage XSI. I know this isn't a Cinema 4D forum, but I have two questions.  Once I get it, I'll find a forum.

1. Is the service agreement per license or do I just need to buy 1?
2. Is the $295.00 training videos from Maxon worth it, or should I just go to Lynda.com or something else?

Thanks,

Rick Emery
