I've watched a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a better understanding than this one for beginners.

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks for that, Rocky!

Being reminded of the clay-mode for checking displacements and lighting was super helpful! Lots of a clever little tips in there, thank you!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for being a subscriber!

[@johnalbertson79]

Always loved the Cinema 4d UI more than any other 3d software. So intuative and pleasant on the eye.

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@cgpov]

I agree!

[@TallyHD]

I'm a blender user and I think c4d has a clean and beautiful UI as well. However I find the shader nodes UI very ugly 😂 The rest of the UI looks amazing

[@xanzuls]

@@TallyHD I mean they just copied Blender's UI on the R 25 release so to me it looks the same.

that quick tip at 39:54, lord, it was annoying me so much! thank you Chad!!!!

Such a gem-packed vide! Hope to see more videos like this in the future

[@cgpov]

Glad u liked it 🤜🤛

Thanks, Michael!!

[@designwithhafiz]

Redshift, my favourite renderer.

[@Dad32646]

Fantastic, thank you! Would love to see arnold and possibly octane versions too

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Yep. That's definitely on our list of videos. Stay tuned.

[@editology]

Thanks Chad! Always delivering solid presentations. Learned about the project asset manager & inspector. Now I hope to get a couple of my Macs and PC's in the studio to jointly "team render." Learned about the super bright preview adjustment for each light in working panel- THANK YOU! Also love your dual null light controlling approach. Keep sharing the pearls!

[@cgpov]

Glad u enjoyed it!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks for watching!

[@scotthuster3531]

This was like a turbocharged best practices Chad video (Pillows, NAB Workflow for Lazy People, etc.) . This did a great job smashing it all together with a few new tips that I had no idea. Thanks Chad!

[@cgpov]

🤜💥🤛

[@adrianhargrave]

Gold! 🙌

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks, Adrian!

[@Bobbybobby1]

Thanks Chad, I did not know to ever mess with the filter in the advanced tab to Lanczos, will have to test out and see the differences!

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

its cleaner and sharper but not altering the native quality, but also very taxing, an gtx460 cant play 4k properly w lanzkos

[@philstar102]

Hello. 32:13 You can just freeze tesselation inside IPR (look for snowflake icons)

[@davidherze6253]

Legend!

[@chalvlad]

so coool. for octane please🥰🥰

[@j.ssuarez]

In case people don't know about Layers in C4D, you can also CTRL+DRAG a layer over a parent null and everything child will get assigned that layer. Chad, would be PRETTY cool if you do a video going over your custom tools. Like I see over on the material manager you have something for UV and another one, so just in general would be great to know what you got cooking there and possibly spark ideas for us! Thanks!

[@cgpov]

I've got one cookin as we speak!

[@barkingsheltie]

@@cgpov Good to hear! I'm a subscriber, but these quick tips GSG has been doing have been helpful and fun!

[@yannickmichel2566]

​@@cgpov amazinggg.... could u also provide us your interface setup? I think u could just save it and send it as a lib file?

[@cia5374]

Chadd! ❤️

[@cgpov]

👋

[@diegomarinho1322]

muito bom!

[@dghzrm]

waiting IPR refresh for that long everytime you tweak a setting after enabling tesselation for displacement, or having to turn off hardware ray tracing or freeze tesselation button thing, not having a proper texture displacement feature, is one of the reasons keeping me from switching from octane to redshift

[@laineb123]

I've been wondering how folks manage to get there color folders in the object pane. Any advice on that would be amazing. thank you so much!

[@cgpov]

Check out my project folder null short 👍

Hello How to get the default layout in the teaching？Thanks

[@HDGamingVelocity]

how do you make a folder like with lights, geo etc in your objects tab?

[@leerobhud]

Is there a way to save your layers (for Cams, Lights etc) as default so they always open automatically in any new C4D project, or do you have to make new ones each time?

[@cgpov]

I have a tip in the works that breaks this down 👍

[@corriesoluis7083]

Window / Customization / Save as Default Scene (Bottom of List)

[@maksoz_mtb2924]

does proxy supports motion blur ?

[@user-tc6jh6fz1g]

Hey guys you're so awesome, but I have an issue inside of the GSG Hub, I have no 3D models inside of the section 3D model.

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Be sure to download the latest version of the hub from our site. Then you will have models.

[@roryflynn7421]

I have my plus library in a tab too for easy access. Although mine takes about 3-5 secs to load every time I go to it. Yours seemed super fast. Am I doing something wrong or is it just my hardware?

[@cgpov]

It can take a bit the first time it open after starting cinema, but after that, it should start quickly

[@p1ner0]

Quick question? Why my GPU is not showing on the RedShift settings? I have a AMD RX 570 4gb, but its not showing at all... I only have CPU in the settings. Can please someone help me with this? I have a rig farm with over 50 gpus of the same model, so I thought through team render to use those GPUs for rendering

[@sahilverma3340]

please create this same video for arnold also😁

[@Greyscalegorilla]

It's definitely on our list. Thanks for watching!

[@HagopKaneboughazian]

quick question. why is redshift going so much slower for me than for you? I've got a super basic scene with one sphere, dome light, area light, and it takes forever to clean up. I used all your settings. My video card is an RTX 3070, and I only have one. But how much worse is that than your 2 RTX 3090's? It seem like my render view is 100 times slower than yours.

[@nathuss971]

I have the same problem but with a RTX 3050, it takes really top long to render a simple scene 😭 Tell me if you have a solution or a change in your renders !

[@adventurefilms]

What processore are you running that allows you to run (2) 3090's? Can you explain or share your specs? I have (2) 3090 myself, but I was told I could only run two if I had a Threadripper...

[@philstar102]

What? If you have two 3090 you will receive performance from two of them on almost any cpu

[@user-sl309jd90]

I singed up for the training but I cannot find it. Every button will redirect me to the main page.. How can I find it?

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Thanks for the heads up. We are working on a fix now. Stay tuned.

[@melbendigo]

I have an RS camera created through the Redshift menu, but my Attribute tabs are different than shown. I have the same tags as the non-RS camera plus an RS Camera tab. Anyone know what I did wrong? Thanks!

[@Greyscalegorilla]

Be sure you are using the latest version of Redshift. They recently changed the way the cameras work. Thanks for watching!

[@melbendigo]

@@Greyscalegorilla Thank you for your reply. The Maxon App says everything is up to date. Oh well, I guess it will all make sense at some point ;)

[@melbendigo]

@@Greyscalegorilla Yep, it makes sense now. I found that if I make a new C4D file snd add a camera, it's a Redshift camera like in this video, but if I'm in a file created in the last version and add a new RS camera, it gives me a non-RS camera with an RS Camera tag on it. So maybe the recent changes only show up in newly created files. Anyway, all's good.

[@markwrabel2941]

What is the "Plus Library"?

[@Greyscalegorilla]

The Plus Library is our Plugin for Cinema 4D that gives you access to ALL of our 3D materials, Models, HDRIs and other assets. Learn more about how Plus can help you work faster in C4D here. greyscalegorilla.com/join-plus/

guys you really need to try Octane again. Its super fast and stable now. RS is slow as shit. Try it before u judge it

Look for a similar video For Octane soon.

RS Slow as shit? really?

slow as shit? bruh

Yeah try it and get this octanish look and this not native strange ui

About Hardware Ray-Tracing, you said: "I do have GTX cards.."... I think you meant "RTX cards" ;)

Whoops 😂
