Lighting With Only HDRIs? You're Doing it Wrong!
HDRIs have the ability to add your lighting a scene, but the end results can be flat and uninteresting. If you want to step up your 3D render game, you need to use all the tools available. Let’s look at how to get a proper lighting solution in Cinema 4D.
Designing in 3D allows you to create incredible worlds, characters, and scenes, but it can sometimes feel like you're held back by the limitations of your skill. How can you make your renders better? In this tutorial series, Octane guru David Ariew takes you through ten steps to a better, more engaging end product.

Thank you! That was a very accurate though simple insight into lighting the scene. Very helpful ♥
Needed this ! Thank you:)
Thanks David , very helpful!
Amazing lighting tips as always.
The master of Octane lighting shares some pro-tips with the masses! I have to say every time David drops a video, I end up improving my technical skills another knotch. Thanks for always giving back to the motion/3d community! You're a rockstar!!

@@Sleezy.Design thanks for the heads up!! I haven't seen this video before, but always good to have more info 🙂
great stuff! Thanks!
Really useful knowledge I can now apply to my own renders, thanks
As always, great tips but as much as I want to make my shots look great by using more than an HDRI, I feel like I always remove additional lighting just because rendering more than just stills takes way too long on the deadlines I'm given. A good video to follow up with on this is how to get down render times when utilizing so many different lights in a scene. I'm sure a lot of us don't have best practices down for lighting and rendering settings.
Very useful!
I think what would have been more helpful was to discuss the scale at which you had your area lights with some of your examples. Saying you dropped in area lights here and there is cool and all but without mentioning the scale and the effect on the shadows it has is too vague to be useful for those unfamiliar with this method personally.
Really great video. Only a few minutes long but I learned a lot.
Great tips! Beyond HDR. LG Octane Jesus 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
brilliant!
Sometimes I am lighting with HDRI because it's very fast. With 10+ lights in the scene Redshift will render 5-10 min per frame on my pc, but with HDRI it will be 30sec or 1 min maximum.
Although I know the principles apply to different software, it would have been nice if it was noted that the video would be talking primarily about C4D. Educational tips nonetheless
Yayyyyy
Lighting tut!!
Hello, whats the name of the artist at 1:35? :) thank you

I started with 3ds max in art school and then had changed Cinema 4d in Jeremy Birns lighting challenge. Actually it does not matter what 3d program you use in lighting
Just give us this course for free. Lol!
