Cinema 4D Tutorial - How to make a Product Visualisation background

To learn more about Cinema 4D, please visit blog.maxon.co.uk In this video, we look at how to create a product visualisation background. We start with a simple disc and add a material with a gradient alpha channel to it. Then we add a background with a nice luminant material to it. We create a standard Sky object and add an HDRI. Using compositing tags we stop the sky from being seen by the camera, or by transparency, and also add a composition background to the disc. This means that it will be self-luminant but allow shadows to be cast. Adding in a light for shadows, we add Global Illumination to help light the entire scene.
