In order to work efficiently, you need to know how to get around the scene that you are working on. Each application has their own way to move around, and each will have their own system for quickly navigating the viewport so you can reference places quickly. Most of the ideas and viewport commands seem to have standardized between 3D applications. The keystrokes may differ, but they all are likely to have the same features.
In order to work effectively, you need to be able to get to newly created objects quickly. You should also have the ability to create new objects where you are, rather than the scene origin. Also, zooming in and out of selections and scene elements is crucial. After all, you don’t want to spend most of your time being lost in the scene you are creating.
This is why Sam Winter of Digital Meat fame, lists off some of the most used and helpful viewport commands in Cinema 4D. A great way to speed up your workflow and make working in Cinema 4D much easier.
