From the course: Cinema 4D R18 Essential Training: Product Visualization and Design

Welcome

- [Andy] Hi, my name is Andy Needham, and welcome to Cinema 4D R18 Essential Training: Product Visualization and Design. In this course, I'll be teaching you about materials and lighting in Cinema 4D, and how you can use the techniques taught here in your product visualization workflow. I'll start by giving you some core concepts of working with Cinema 4D, so you're set up for success. From there, we discuss how to work with models that are not in the native Cinema 4D format. We work with materials and textures and we learn how to modify existing materials on imported models. Then we cover rendering and work with cameras to create effects such as depth of field. I show you how to use global illumination and other lighting methods to enhance the realism of your renders. We harness the versatile take system to streamline our workflow. And finally, composite multipass renders. So if you're ready, let's get started with Cinema 4D R18 Essential Training: Product Visualization and Design.
