>You can literally get c4d for free
how

blenderguru is a psyop concocted by autodesk to keep blender users low skill laughing stocks, via poor quality donut and anvil tutorials

Blender autism is going up a level, I see.

Maxon has a student license for C4D just like Autodesk has for Maya.

>>683652
Ah, but they actually verify it, don't they?

>>683653
If you try to open Maya without the license number or Autodesk Desktop app installed, it bitches at you too.

Yes, C4D has an authentication screen. Again, the student license is free so I'm not sure what the problem would be, you get a key you can use to get past it.

It's also fucking trivial to crack since you only have to replace a single file which persists through updates.

>>683738
I mean, last time I checked, Maxon asks for a student card.

>>683754
I'm fairly sure you can use *any* student card you may have, the point is just to indicate that you're a student learning 3D and you'd like to spend more than 30 days with the software.

It's not the same company but I always use expired student ID for Substance Painter and it always works, they never raise an eyebrow over it.

I'm going to make a donut wish me luck guys!

>its free
>you just have to go into debt for a useless degree first

>>683505
Real question then from someone just starting out: how else am I supposed to learn?

>>683768
from a better teacher i would suggest.

>>683761
Anon, I don't think you understand.

*Any* student ID. Not just college/university, anything you have that """proves""" you're a student is OK.

>>683769
Any suggestions?

>>683771
i don't use Blender, so i don't know any good teacher....

>>683771
Paid = good.
More expensive = better.

Blenderguru is a perfectly fine starting point. The coffee cup guy is good too just for getting your feet wet.
After you've done enough tutorials to feel comfortable with the UI ( even if you don't know what you're doing), steal some longer tutorials off cgperia or the like.

The number 1 most important rule is that there are no shortcuts, you can't go trying to pick the tutorial that looks "fun", you've just got to do all of them picking up more more as you go until finally you'll be able to make the things that interest you.
Trying to find the tutorial on the thing that interests you is a complete mistake that a lot of beginners make.
