Sinopsis

XPresso is a node-based system in Cinema 4D that is used to create automated object interactions. You can create these interactions by drawing wires from one node to another. From rotating fan blades to rigged objects, from propellers to the bouncing ball, from clock mechanism to the organic movement of a jellyfish, XPresso allows you to create animations with ease.ááThe MAXON Cinema 4D R20: A Detailed Guide to XPresso book introduces students to the XPresso module of the Cinema 4D which is a node-based visual scripting language.
