In nuce: Maxon announces its programme of events for 2022. The annual programme includes the popular 3D and Motion Design Show, weekly webinars and hopefully soon again events where face-to-face meetings are possible.
3D and Motion Design Shows: As usual, experienced motion graphics and VFX artists will present 3D techniques and production workflows – always using Maxon’s Cinema 4D, Redshift and Red Giant product lines, but also the newly acquired ZBrush tools (we reported on 16 December 2021). As in previous years, the presentations will be streamed live and will also be available online on the Maxon YouTube channel shortly after being broadcast on 3DMotionShow.com .
3D and Motion Design Show – a review: If you are not yet familiar with the show organised by Maxon, we recommend that you search our news archive under the keyword “3D and Motion Design Show”. You can expect many exciting presentations from creative directors, C4D experts and other lecturers who will share their expertise with you.
Back to in-person events soon? Maxon is currently working on the return of in-person events, starting with NAB 2022 (24-27 April). Therefore, the 3D and Motion Design Show is expected to be broadcast live from the NAB booth. We last told you about this on 01.10.2020 , when the NAB Show 2021 was postponed due to Covid.
