Dustin introduces Octane Render as a tool as an add-on to C4D. This is where your experience as a photographer leaves you well ahead of the curve in the creative side of 3D. You’ve already got the skills it takes to create beautiful renders, possibly without even knowing it. Just as with real world photography, lighting, composition, camera angle and focal length play a huge role in storytelling as a photographer. That carries to 3D as well!
Dustin opens Octane within Cinema 4D for the first time to begin showing the overall interface of the plugin.
Dustin uses Octane to show lighting details on a model in Cinema 4D, explaining how lighting works, how to adjust lighting, adjust color temperatures of lights and make different modifiers for the lighting.
Dustin shows how HDRI inside of Octane can be used to light a model in a way that takes the environment the model is into account. With HDRI colors and reflections (material dependent) can be seen inside of the model.
