just got the app (build 11), don't know how to use it. i'll be using it almost exclusively to build title treatments for movie posters and other logo type stuff.
i've seen a few basic tutorials online that are okay but all they do is tell you step by step what buttons to push, etc to create their final product, without explaining wtf the button is or why you're pressing it.
so i want a good book. any suggestions?
or does someone have any good training videos i can mooch?
thanks

that program should be so simple the paper wasted on a book for it cannot be justified.

i recommend the cineversity.com site the video tutorials are really thorough. Books tend to be a bit daunting and on cineversity you can bounce around as you need to figure stuff out much faster.

lynda tutorial for version 10 will be very helpful, cmivfx as well.
also making it look great for AE+C4D.
and greyscalegorilla, plus maybe cgtuts+.
video tuts are much better than any book, there is none worth it for C4D.

greyscalegorilla.com is easily some of the best intro to 3D stuff I have ever seen.

thinking about getting a new laptop at home to do some Cinema 4D tutorials... dont want something extravagant but do you think i could do this on a Macbook?

Bad render times depend on your render settings as well as CPUs on your computer, if you are rendering on a macbook pro chances are you have 2 CPU's. C4D 11.5 has much better render times with GI and standard render setups. Also look at your materials IE: reflection and glow will take much longer then a standard color or luma channel render
