Interior tutorial for Cinema 4D – feedback wanted!

Hi guys,

I've received a lot of messages over the last year from people who want to see more in-depth project tutorials for Cinema 4D. Currently I only have the F18 tutorial for sale, but I think it's about time to add something else to the library.

Since most people are asking for lighting/rendering tutorials, I decided to do a tutorial on 3D interiors. Interiors are in general quite difficult to light and render, so I figured it would make for a nice subject.

I'm currently experimenting to see how I can incorporate all sorts of tricks and techniques into one consistent tutorial series. The goal of the series is to create an image like the one below (rendered in Cinema 4D R14):

I'm now close to finalizing the topics I want to discuss, but before I finalize them I would love to get your insights. What would you like to see? What are some things you struggle with and can't find any decent documentation or examples for on the internet? Please let me know.

Thanks so much for your response, and I hope to see you back soon when the series is released!

   Wow, it looks amazing. What I would really love is some basic rendering primer before you get into explaining rendering for interior setting like show above and basic differences between indoor/outdoor rendering. You don’t have to go in detail but just please do give some basic pointers. And also any caveats e.g. aligning normals or long triangles created from using of Booleans to generate geometry and how that effects rendering and how they could be avoided and solved. Looking forward to tutorial and good luck.

   Thanks Sajjad – I’ll definitely make sure to go over the basics before diving in to more detailed rendering subjects. Thanks for the pointers!

   Hi Marijn,

   Feeling pumped to hear about your new tutorial, not sure if it has been finalized but i would like to know more about how you optimize your render. Everything look so polish in your video Belgian Development Cooperation – spot (international version).

   Hope you can explain some techniques with the new tutorial.

   Nice Renders!!!!

   Regards.
