nice TuToRiAl
Cool tip men !
I been a fan of you tutorials for sometime now. Thank you for making one as this! Great Tut!
Thanks!
Yet another great tip on using C4D, you rock dude!!
How do you set up cinema to run in 332 bit? When I do my textures like yours they don’t look right at all. Thanks
Just select the Radiance HDR file type and the final output will be 32bit
Good tutorial
Very cool Alexander!
awsome tut man, very useful and creative!! thanks man!!
Alexander, im newbie in 3d graphic… where I can use this technique?
You can use this as a lighting map on a sky object with global illumination
really cool…!!!!!!!!! 5/5 Stars!!!!
i love your videos, you are the MASTER on Cinema
Great tutorial on HDR Alexander. What is the current status on the upcoming “The Cinematic” product?
We try to move it, but I’m working on a Font and this will take a time …
Thx really impressive tut
Thanks for this!
I was wondering…if I make a big environment scene, say, a big factory scene with a lot of pipes, etc…it will take forever to render that environment. Is there a way to “bake” the environment so I can render out 1 frame and use it as a background so it will dramatically cut down the render time because i will just have to worry about foreground elements and not the extensive background elements?
Yes, you can that’s gives you one time calculating the GI or AO and you render each frame with the same baked environment.
Awesome thanks Alexander. Is it as easy as this tutorial or is there another method other than making the sphere reflect the environment to get this done?
Honestly, i frustrated not being able to download all of this jaw-dropping tutorials. Even on vimeo the downloads keep breaking, i think youtube is a better option of downloading them even if they get broken during the process, a file hosting site like rapidshare would be the best option in my own opinion. Please Help Me, i really appreciate your effort especially for upcoming motion designers like me. Anybody please help.
Thank you guys.
Alexander, very good tutorial for creating own HDR images
Александр, Ваши уроки на русском есть?
Sorry man, only english.
Great tutorial, but I expected the HDRI to go to the luminance channel. At least when I use HDRI on super size spheres for lighting a scene. Is this different for a sky object?
When you have a hdri image there is no problem using it in color channel, but if you use jpg or tiff use luminance for better results ( there is less data in jpg or tiff ) so the luminance will give a extra power of the image.
THank you for another great tutorial . much love and respect from los angeles!
