The visualization of light in space, its effect on model cubature and scenery, is one of the great challenges in architectural rendering. This is a decisive reason for the use of 3D tools - both for architecture offices and students. This volume features a number of exercises that enable the reader to learn how to light architecture models correctly. Complete virtual 3D scenarios are included that allow for the step-by-step construction of a lighting set up with the help of Cinema 4D software that creates a realistic spatial impression. The tutorials are complemented by a chapter on the use of Cinema 4D, importing CAD models and light sources as well as shadow types, which have been revised and expanded in the 9.5 and 10 version.

This volume features a number of exercises that enable the reader to learn how to light architecture models correctly. Complete virtual 3D scenarios are included that allow for the step-by-step construction of a lighting set up with the help of Cinema 4D® software that creates a realistic spatial impression. The tutorials are complemented by a chapter on the use of Cinema 4D®, importing CAD models and light sources as well as shadow types, which have been revised and expanded in the 9.5 and 10 version.

The correct way to study light & shadow of Cinema 4d

The steps of the tutorials are easy to learn, this book is the chain I am looking for I have read many tutorials from many sources but this book is the best, If u want to learn the light & shadow of C4D in the right way this is the right book.

Unique Exceptional Target Information

This is the best and most unique comprehensive guide on the use, manipulation and effect of lighting in Cinema 4D. There is no other book with the level of informative, easy to follow step by step instruction, (with full color photos of the panels) for creating exceptionally realistic lighting both for interior and exterior renders and animations. An essential tool of techniques in the arsenal of a Cinema 4D Master. Highly recommended.

Accurate and easy to follow

All instructions are backed up with screenshots making it very easy to follow. A pragmatic approach to creating real world lighting effects is followed without the pretence that everything in C4D works perfectly. Each project is written as a standalone item so that you are not having to constantly refer back to previous chapters for a particular technique. I cannot praise this book highly enough!
