* add an infinite light for the sun and place it appropriatelyĪnd that's mostly it to get the setup working, subject of course to the options the user selects. Waiting longer for the progressive image to 'finish' will not fix that at least, as the 'bug' happens already in the GI prepass.

* apply the relevant image files to each Sky object It is a GI sampling issue, but its rather hard to judge from here what exactly is wrong w/o knowing anything about the settings. In this clip, youll learn how to create high-dynamic range images within MAXON C4D. You can use this technique to recreate shadows on image. In Cinema 4D, you can render shadows on a separate transparent object into the scene in order to simulate the shadow on the image background for example. I would need three, because they all have to have different settings - two won't be visible to camera, for example. Hi guys, let’s check this quick lesson about shadow catcher in Redshift in Cinema 4D by Joe Lawrence You And Me Academy. Part 2 - use Advanced Compositing to separate the object and shadow alphas. I have a pretty basic scene and would like the final render to have a transparent background so the plane is not visible but the shadows casted onto the plane are still there.

Part 1 - install the plugin and create a basic 3D scene (This page). Hi everyone I am new to cinema 4D and Corona. In C4D, the Sky object is basically a skydome which doesn't cast shadows or obstruct the camera view, so it's more convenient than using a huge sphere (but I can offer that as an option, some people prefer it). UPDATE: Shadow catcher is now a built-in material and compositing feature in version Cinema 4D R18 onwards by default. * create three Sky objects in Cinema, one for each image. You can place objects precisely so that they look like they are part of the HDR image. HDRI Projector offers an easy way to create shadow catchers or to build out your set using the HDR you are currently using. My immediate thoughts are to write a prototype C++ plugin for C4D, but if that doesn't work (or proves too much to do) I'll go down the GUI route.īefore I start, can I just check that I've got the concept right? My thinking is that to load an sIBL setup, I would have to: A new tool for Cinema 4D by Daniel Mozbäuchel lets users project HDR environments easily onto geometry in the scene. It's clearly a decision I'll have to make early on! I've had a look at the GUI and it does look a more convenient solution if I can get the script it outputs to run in C4D. On the other hand, it might be quicker (for me, anyway) to write a straight C++ plugin for Cinema, accepting I'd have to write those subroutines in the GUI myself. I'm certainly very tempted to look at the GUI and do it that way.
