will get some good GFX tutorial's and some other resources for Novice, Moderate and for Advanced GFX-ers.

Cinema 4D ( C4D )

- CINEMA
4D or C4D is a 3-D application that is popular amongst matte painters
in film production, largely due to the BodyPaint 3D functionality. It is

excellent color source and integration with compositing application
pipelines, and a very artist-friendly, customizable workflow and
interface.
