C4D Essential Motion Graphics: Redshift Lighting techniques

Join us every Monday in February as Maxon Master Trainers Lionel Vicidomini, Dustin Valkema and Jonas Pilz take us through essential techniques for motion graphic designers, using Cinema 4D and Redshift. Week 3 Master Trainer Dustin Valkema walks us through Redshift lighting techniques. Dustin will show us his design process using Cinema 4D and Redshift, then take us into Photoshop to demonstrate time-saving methods to improve your final renders in post-production. 00:00:00 Welcome 00:35:00 Events 00:03:03 House-keeping 00:03:55 Today’s theme 00:05:30 Dustin’s work 00:07:58 Dustin’s C4D set-up 00:11:20 __ Standard lights 00:14:40 Q Work in scale 00:16:40 __ Refining the set up 00:17:14 __ Ambient light 00:18:40 __ Add HDRimage 00:21:44 __ one light at the time 00:23:54 Q Specs 00:24:28 Q Use of default set-ups 00:25:58 __ Keylight adjustment 00:27:08 Q Intensity v EV 00:30:05 Q Progressive v Bucket 00:34:36 Q Light color/temp 00:38:06 Q Photometric lights 00:39:22 Shotdeck -source of inspiration 00:40:20 __ Playing with “Gels” 00:43:35 Q Default Render Settings OpenEXR 00:44:18 Redshift 3D AOV 00:44:30 __ OpenEXR 00:45:27 __ EXRio (win) ProEXR (mac) 00:47:46 __ Setting up AOV 00:49:46 Q Do you use volumetric lights 00:50:53 Q Photoshop Multilayer AOV 00:52:59 Q Light or materials first 00:55:33 Q OpenEXR for AfterEffects plugin 00:55:56 Q OCIO/ACES in Cinema 4D, Ps, Ae 00:57:50 Q Octane v Redshift 3D 01:00:36 Q Jordan’s Image, which render 01:03:25 Summary 01:04:35 Events outlook 01:05:09 Thanks and bye 01:05:43 Where to leave questions later on AOV = Arbitrary Output Variables ACES = Academy Color Encoding System Gels = Thin color filter OCIO = OpenColor IO Links mentioned in the session: Link to EXR-IO: https://www.exr-io.com/ Link to PRO EXR: https://www.fnordware.com/ProEXR/ Link To The Shoe Rendering Tutorial In Octane: https://proedu.com/products/the-compl...
