Friends, Beer, Cinema 4D, Food, Presentations, Learning, Chicago, Beer, Conversation, High Fives. We are pretty excited to announce, Half Rez. It's A free four hour mini-conference in a great venue packed with presentations on C4D and motion design, including the newest features in R14. It's created by ChicagoC4D, Greyscalegorilla, and sponsored by Maxon USA. We may be a bit biased, but we think it will be pretty sweet. Chicago and the midwest is becoming a sort-of mecca of great Cinema 4D artists and motion designers and we wanted to create a night just for us; for the people that make stuff and have fun doing it.
