Chapter 1. Cinema 4D 7

In order to help Cinema 4D users who are upgrading from older program versions (those previous to version 6) to the current version 7, I will provide a brief introduction to the most important menus and icons in Cinema 4D XL.

Those upgrading from version 6 can sit back and relax for a moment; the good news is that the appearance of Cinema 4D has not changed.

Since this book is intended as an exercise book, I won't describe each individual menu entry in detail. Due to space considerations, I'll also limit my discussion to the commands in the working examples. Please refer to the manual for more information on individual elements within Cinema 4D.
