Hello, thank you for your support and I am glad I am able to help! I try and show everything on screen so people can follow along without knowing that much English. Also, let me know if there is anything you want me to work on that may help you. Thank you again!

Unfortunately, I recently saw that too. Asset transfer uncertainties, concerns over ownership and like you said, program specific files are gone. I’m curious if these companies are having disputes within the merger, causing a lot of key features to be held out of the marketplace or if its just a technical issue. We will see I guess but yeah, kind of a bummer for now.

That’s awesome, I’m glad the video was useful to you! I appreciate it.

Thank you, happy to hear it.

Hmm, interesting, try this: Use the Redshift Object Tag: - Select the plane object. - Right-click and choose Redshift Tags > Redshift Objects - In the Redshift Object tag, go to the “Visibility” tab. - Enable “Remove from Toon Line” This will prevent the plane’s geometry from generating toon lines based on its shape. Or you may have to Modify the Alpha Channel - Ensure that the alpha map is properly connected to the material. - In the Redshift Material, you should already have an alpha map (texture) connected to the “Opacity” input of your material. - The alpha map should determine the transparent and opaque areas of your material, but the toon outline needs additional steps. Since the standard "Outline" feature in the Redshift Toon material follows the geometry rather than the alpha map, and you've already tried adjusting the Redshift Object Tag settings without success, here's an alternative approach: If somehow that still doesn’t work you can try this: Duplicate the Object: - Create a duplicate of your plane object and apply the same alpha map to the duplicate. Apply a Black and White Material: - Apply a new Redshift material to the duplicate object. - Use a “Shader Graph” in this material to create a black-and-white version of your alpha map. - Plug the alpha map into the “Diffuse Color” channel, where white represents the opaque areas and black represents transparency. Use a Fresnel or Curvature Node: - In the Shader Graph, add a “Fresnel” node to detect the edges based on the alpha. - Connect this node to the input where you want the lines to appear, such as the “Diffuse Color” or “Emission.l Set the Duplicate to Outline Only: - In the Redshift Object Tag for the duplicate, enable “Remove from Toon Line” on the original object but leave it active on the duplicate. - Set the duplicate to render only the outlines by making it fully transparent or black while maintaining the edge detection for the outline. Composite the Results: - Use the Compositing Tag in Cinema 4D to control visibility, ensuring the duplicate only affects the outline. - This method may require some tweaking with the Redshift render settings to blend the outline correctly with the original object.

@@IlluminationLab_ The term "Remove from Toon Line" you mentioned is not in the "Visibility" of the Redshift Object Tag.

@@IlluminationLab_ Even if I post the relevant image on my blog, the message will be deleted if I write down the link value. If you let me know your email, I will send you the captured image.

Give me a few days and I’ll try and figure it out. I’ll throw my Email in the bio of the channel.

@@IlluminationLab_ thanks

Good question, make sure your alpha map is properly connected to the Opacity input of the Redshift material applied to your plane. Also, make sure you have a redshift object tag. In the redshift object tag, go to the “visibility” tab. Make sure “primary ray visible” and “secondary ray visible” are checked. In your Redshift Toon Material, go to the “Outline”section. Make sure “Line Transparency” option (or similar settings depending on your Redshift version) is turned on. Lastly, I’m sure you know about this but you might want to double check, In your Redshift Render settings, ensure that the “Ray Trace/Alpha Transparency” is enabled under the Advanced tab, allowing proper rendering of alpha maps. Hope this helps!

@@IlluminationLab_ thank you very much.

Of course, hopefully that helped. Feel free to reach out and I’ll try and assist the best I can.

Hey, man! I personally use Cylindrical lights for a few different reasons. Cylindrical lights provide more precise control over the quality of light, including parameters like intensity, color temperature, spread, and decay. Where I believe emission materials can be harder to control and tend to have noisier lighting. Emissions can also increase render times. I think you have better control with Cylindrical lights overall, with shadow density and you have a bit more artistic control. Emissions can cast shadows pretty well but I feel like I can’t control them as well. I think emissions are great for sci-fi scenes or glowing signs where shadows aren’t really a big deal. I also think with working with glass or a lot of reflective materials emissions can be unpredictable where I believe cylindrical light can give you a more predictable look. Both are great but I personally use cylindrical for this type of scene. Hope that helps, thank you for reaching out!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

Redshift version 3.6.01 at the time of this recording. Nvidia 3060 T.I. When making videos, I normally record myself doing the process and then I take that recording and edit it. During editing, I will speed up slower parts or delete loading times to help condense the video. Usually redshift is pretty responsive for me but that can vary depending on how heavy the scene is or my settings at the time.

Thanks man, I greatly appreciate it.

@@IlluminationLab_ Interiors are super tough for beginners and to teach, but you nailed it! keep up the great work! I'll share your channel in my discord for sure!

@effectatron Thank you, I try and make it educational and somewhat entertaining to watch. Every video I try and get better from a delivery standpoint and also technically as well. I actually learned Cinema4D from your videos and a few others. Thank you again and I appreciate you sharing within your community.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate your kind words.

I’m glad you like it! Part two should be coming out soon!

Correct, you can use nulls within the object manager to group assets together and you can apply colors that way, which I mention several times in the video. The goal of this video is to show the overall process of working within this scene which includes minor modeling, lighting and applying color.

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. I enjoy doing interior projects within Cinema 4D but I never really know if people enjoy watching or learning about interior design. So with that being said, thank you for reaching out letting me know that you enjoy it. I will continue to make videos like this and I will continue to increase the quality in time. Also, let me know if there is a specific design style or a specific room you would like me to do and we will get it done.

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

Yes, a mock smartphone company. This was my try at creating an ad within Cinema4D.

Yes, it’s a mock smartphone company. I made two mock ads and I’m currently working on a mock showcase coming later this month.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it. I try and make sure both the creation process and the video is the highest quality that I can achieve at the time. I’ll continue to get better and I plan to work on this series for a long time. Thank you again for watching and I’m glad you liked it!

I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for checking it out!

Glad you liked it! I’ve primarily used Redshift for most of the renders I’ve done only because it comes as a package deal under Maxon. So when learning Cinema4D, I learned while working within Redshift. Since I’m familiar with it, I have stuck to it because I have had no problems with it. I have recently thought about trying octane because it seems to be a bit more dynamic and quicker to render at the same or higher quality of redshift. I think redshift falls short when it comes to vegetation where I think octane is a bit better in that category as well. I also believe the lighting system is different in Octane, almost similar to an Unreal Engine 5. But, I could be wrong about that. Either one would be good for architecture but I would lean more towards Octane, especially if the scene calls for vegetation.

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it, I greatly appreciate it!

Absolutely Everything 😂

Glad that you like it!

Thank you, I’m glad that you like it! I will try and do more modeling videos going forward but I am open to suggestions.

Glad you liked this one!

Thank you, I greatly appreciate your kind words and for subscribing. Every video I do I try and put in as much effort as possible to make sure it’s both educational and entertaining to some degree. Please let me know if you want me to go over anything specific or make a video about something you are curious about. Thank you again and I’ll keep getting the videos out to you.

Glad you like it! Thank you for checking out the video, I greatly appreciate it.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I’ll definitely keep producing videos like these going forward. Thank you for the rotation tip! In the past, I felt like I would have to fight it to get it exactly 90 degrees but now I can be a bit more effective with the shift key. 😂 I appreciate you reaching out with your kind words and guidance. Thank you again!

Glad you do, I think it’s pretty cool too!

I think so too!

Thank you, glad you like it!

Are you asking how I made the front and back of the cards? If so, I just used two cubes, turned on filet to round off the edges of the cubes and then made those two cubes touch. I put the cubes into a null and Imported a texture for each cube and applied the texture. I hope this helps but if not, reach back out and I’ll be happy to assist.

@@IlluminationLab_ i tried the Rayswitch note in Redshift, but it didn't work

After setting up Rayswitch, did you turn it on in your camera and refresh the Redshift render view?

@@IlluminationLab_ I did it, thanks

Awesome! I’m glad you got it to work.

Thank you man, I greatly appreciate it! Let me know if you want me to tackle a specific project or scene within C4D.

Thank you! Glad you think so!

Thank you, glad you like it!

Thank you for your message and expressing your passion for interior design. I believe when it comes to both photography and Cinema 4d, composition, lighting and depth of field is the most important. Learn the rule of thirds, framing and symmetry when it comes to composition. Lighting is important because the lighting can evoke emotion and of course having a warm or cool hue to the light will help express that emotion that you are going for. With depth of field, experiment with shallow and deep depths of field to control what's in focus or specific artistic effects. Plus, you can always adjust your pictures with a post-processing/post editing software. Sometimes playing with different settings during editing, you can find some fun ways to portray your image. Yes, I will go over different camera setting and options, look for that video here in the next few weeks. As far as it being hard, I don't think it's been hard for you I just think you have high standards for yourself and you may become disappointed when you don't reach that standards. What's crazy is you have the ability to take that feeling of frustration and use that energy to drive you towards your goals. I believe you already are creating good photos but you're ready to make great ones. Going forward I would highly encourage you to tell yourself "up until this point, I was creating good pictures, as of now, I will create great ones." Saying this will separate yourself from your frustration and put you into a good head space. Once you're in a good headspace you can think clearly, once you can think clearly, your mind is free and you can focus more at the task at hand. You got this!

Glad you like it!

Thank you, I appreciate it! I will definitely continue making these types of videos and others like it.

Thank you so much 😁

Thank you, I appreciate it!
