To potentially fix the issue of the line created from the light (even after choosing to have light in both +z and -z) I would suggest to change light shape to sphere
What you did was helping me a lot, for me this is extremity helpful. I am sure you can't realize how important your help was, how many hours of searching and frustration i have when try to do something and did not understand how. I am sure you helped lots of people right now but for me this tutorial helped me so much. I forgot to say Thank You.

Any reason why my PBR light reflections onto my figure are extremely hard and defined while yours are diffused and more realistic? Our settings are the same in terms of everything you used in this vid, but maybe there's a default/viewport/render setting you have that i don't? Thank you!!
DIGITAL MEAT Thank you for the response! so I worked with roughness and in the viewport it was identical and when I rendered the reflected portions were extremely grainy
@@mortasustain.4056 - It was the same in the viewport when you turned the roughness up? Is the material applied to your object? what version of Cinema 4D are you using?
DIGITAL MEAT So by that, I meant that when I increased roughness it looked like how yours did and I was like ‘nice! I got it’ then when I rendered it was super grainy at all the reflection points. im on R19.024
Thanks, It depends what you mean by "better", an external GPU renderer will definitely speed things up if you have a decent GPU, and you'll get instant feedback when setting up a scene, I myself have switched to Octane.
@@DIGITALMEAT I mean, better for photorealism, actually i'm on chip M1 and ideal solution for Apple platform are very limited in terms of GPU rendering(Metal support), do you have any advice for this new Chip M1? Thank you again
Great tutorial. When I tried this setup the PBR lights even at 100% intensity don't light up the scene as required. What's the potential solution to this?
You can turn the light intensity up passed 100%. Another thing that would help is, instead of using the colour channel, using a purely reflectance based workflow, I'll be doing a tutorial on this shortly.
awesome tutorial! learned a great deal, however the overall look of my figure comes out a bit different. do you have certain render/reflectance settings that you didn’t mention in the vid? to explain, my ‘blue dude’ has reflections that are super mirror-like and sharp as opposed to diffused and realistic like yours. i paused at the reflectance part and matched your settings and still no luck.
It's down to a few things, render settings and your system. In this tutorial I'm using Physical Render which is a CPU Renderer, my CPU is a Threadripper 1950X
really like your tutorials but sometimes wished you explained a tad more certain things. LIke the light goes into photometric mode , ok , so whats that.
Great tutorial. Thank you.
No problem 🙂
Probably one of the best, to the point and helpful tutorials I've watched on C4D. Cheers mate.
Well said. Im not new to C4D, but I do like to learn different aspects about it. Great video!
agreed
Thank U! Great tutorial and fantastic teacher!
Always look for the British instructors on youtube, they are really full cream of clear language and knowledge, Thanks a lot
Thanks, much appreciated :D
thank you, just started with R23 and couldn't figure out the best way to make my own light scene. I appreciate this so much!
Thank you, i know this is an older video. However you are very easy to follow and that helps alot with such an "intense" program
Thanx....the target tag was game-changing
God am I thankful for having found this. Your vid was actually the first tutorial I watched where I didn't have to keep checking when it would end.
Thank you, it works perfect!

This is extremely helpful. Thank you!
Man if you want to start tutorial videos you should seek guidance from this guy ...... Best tutorial i've ever watched
this video was so helpful! learned lighting in C4D so quick with it. thanks so much!
Many great tips . Thank You
Super useful and clear. Just beginning C4D so this is perfect for me.
Glad to help, please visit Digitalmeat.uk where you can search and filter my tutorials 😉

Awesome dude!!! God bless you for this video
Thanks, Mate, very helpful!
Extremely well done. I appreciate the how and why of every step. Just learning and this was the most forward online Cinema 4d run though I have found.
Thank you! I really appreciate that :)
We need a "godfather for the newbies". Excellent tut.
Digital Meat, saving my ass from deadline since...I can't even remember.
Thank you for your always-great tutorial.
You owe me money then! 😅😅 Jokes aside, glad I could help and thanks for watching 😀
Detailed. Patient. Very helpful.
really great tutorial, thanks!
Got very good tips here, thanks
You have the best tutorials!
Thanks buddy, really appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
simple and straight to the point. thanks dude!
It would be great if you could share with us your project file so we could use it as a sample.
But amazing tutorial anyway. Thanks
Thanks for doing this
this is gold!
Thanks 🙂
🥰merci pour cette belle video
Very detailed tutorial...Thank you
Oh man thanks!
Thanks a lot!!!
I am about to watch this but hey, Thank you for this . Keep it up bro.
cheers :)
Nice & smooth follow along tutorial. You made easy what others make so complex... Thanks for sharing @digital meat
Fantastic, thanks a lot fellow !
Excellent tutorial!
thank you so much
this is amazing and so helpful, keep it up
Nice one !
Good tutorial, GOOD! +rep
O.M.G. Thank You! You’ve helped much :>
beautiful tutorial, with a lot of great tips. cheers
Thanks buddy, much appreciated 🙂
very helpful
Thank a lot. Great tutorial!
Hi! Im lost in minute 9:10 when you load the HDR presets, do they come default with C4D? Cause i cant find them. Thanks!
They are included with Cinema 4D as a separate download. If you don't have them, go to the top menu in C4D . .

It's the material you have on your object, go into the reflectance channel and turn up the roughness slider. Hope that helps :)

@@mortasustain.4056 - You need to change your render settings, if you're using physical render, turn up the Blurriness Subdivision to 3 or 4
Great tut for beginners like me, thank you.
Do you think that external render engine (like redshift) is better for final result?

If you matched my settings then it should look identical
Perfeito. como consigo esse HDRI que você usou, os meus não são legais
Muy buen tutorial
Excellent tutorial

THANKS MAN GOT LEAVE COMMENT TO LET YOU KNOW
Thanks :)
Is there a way to do it on Microsoft Paint??
where do i get all those presets and models in the content browser? When i look on there, there are only standard materials.
You have to download the content libraries which are an optional download. Go to - Help Menu > Check for updates > Optional > Content Libraries.
And then Bob's your uncle
How do you get so faster render? mine takes forever :(
It's down to a few things, render settings and your system. In this tutorial I'm using Physical Render which is a CPU Renderer, my CPU is a Threadripper 1950X
Thanks a lot!, you got sub :)
Nice one :)
hello, there's a connect & disconnect fiture in C4D like in Maya?
Your gonna have to go into more detail because I don't use Maya.
I dоwnloaded everything is okay
really like your tutorials but sometimes wished you explained a tad more certain things. LIke the light goes into photometric mode , ok , so whats that.
it's just another way to control the intensity
what did you press in 7:16 ? smoothing the pic
Smoothing the pic? do you mean when I turned off the wireframe?
Sometimes you sounds like professor snip from harry potter😁
lololol
can you drop the cinema 4D file in the description?
Nope, that defeats the purpose of a tutorial, just follow along

How did you know about my uncle Bob? :P

U just need ur pc, ur pc keyboard and a mouse.
Super helpful, thank you really much !
