This course introduces the many advanced features of the CINEMA 4D rendering and lighting toolsets. Discover how to better simulate real-world surfaces, photography, and lighting scenarios. Author Donovan Keith shows how to add realistic shallow depth-of-field effects with the physical renderer, use blurry reflections to create a type treatment, and light scenes with HDRI photographs and global illumination. Plus, learn tricks for achieving similar effects under tight deadlines.

Topics include:

• Modifying depth of field
  
• Animating rack focus
  
• Using blurry transparency to create frosted glass
  
• Understanding global illumination
  
• Setting up HDRI lighting
  
• Optimizing render sampling settings
  
• Preventing over-/underexposure with color mapping
  
• Using negative lights to selectively darken parts of scenes
