Looks great. I have always been meaning to play around with C4D after seeing the cool things that you did with it. Can you show how you did this?

fxphd vs. Lynda. did you try both? I cancelled my lynda cause I thought the c4d stuff was a little too basic ( and the guy who is teaching makes me want to kill myself
) . Any more advanced stuff on Fxphd? any idea?thx

FXPHD Wins hands down!
Yea, the lynda.com teacher is funny as hell. the Basic “what do all these buttons do” training is solid though.

Also, 3D Fluff is really good too. http://dvd.3dfluff.com/ -
Probably the best with FXPHD to learn C4D

Yeah this is a fun one… although i learned it by doing an online tut and it was sort of annoying how it didnt explain what each thing was doing… just told you how to do. So if you make a tutorial maybe explain a little more in depth (even though you already do a good job of that). THANKS!

Cool man I’ll check it out. yeah there’s a lack of lighting/ shading tutorial for c4d. would be cool to know a little more.

cheers and thx again. -
C4D can just be a bottomless pit where you spend an eternity testing, adjusting, rendering,over and over again. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. A handy tip is to use large planes with only luminance placed about lights for some great effects.

This looks HOT! Did you do the DOF in C4D or PS?
Interesting tip shinebox!

Espenja: The DOF was done in Photoshop with Lens Blur.
shinebox: Yeah, setting up big softboxes in 3D really works well. Nice tip!

Yes, your DOF looks great….
Do you have a tutorial or any tips on the cinema4D camera settings you used for the DOF? I use C4D and AE Lens Blur as well, but I get strange artifacts sometimes.
I’ve also used Frischluft – DOF plugin (which works way better) but I don’t have a copy of that at home. I’d like to figure out how to do it the lens blur way since it’s working for you.

Frishluft is the best way for good DOF. This image, however, was done with lens blur in Photoshop.
