Thank you, man! And good luck

[@manuelstalhammar3729]

Thank you for this tutorial! It's fantastic because it not only teaches which buttons to click but also explains the motivation and purpose behind each light in the scene, which is the most important part ..

Exactly, anyone can hold a kitchen knife, but that doesn’t make them a chef 👩‍🍳

One question. Why would you do the color change in post rather than in render? Isn't it looking better if you do it in real?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Excellent question. The short answer is changing the colors in CG vs Comp will be EXACTLY the same if done correctly. The long answer is the benefit of switch the colors in comp is huge. 1. What happens if the client last minute wants it to be blue instead of red? Now you have to go back into CG, wait for render and comp it again. On the other hand, if you have rendered out all your passes and reassembled it in comp you can easily color correct the diffuse to make it blue. 2. You have light years more control of your 3D in comp then you ever will in C4D. Almost 10 out of 10 times comping your CG will make it look better. I always recommend comping your CG. 3. By taking the extra time to properly setup your 3D in comp you will end up saving yourself so much precious time because any change will require everything mentioned in #1. The moral is to always comp your CG if you have the time, it’s always worth the time investment! 💪💪💪

Fantastic

[@tja.d3126]

Great work! Where is the link to the HDR texture (Pingo) ?)

[@zakariaataghzaoui8863]

Thank you so much, I have a question, why didn't you work on the Unreal Engine

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

It’s all a matter of preference. You can do this in any render engine, they all are mostly the same. Just like giving someone a Nikon vs Canon camera, they both can take great pictures, but it’s up to the user to make it happen.

[@quaterpill]

Good tutorial, but for me looks like your vioce audio track is bit too quite, probably better to make it bit louder like 3-5 db i think

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@monirul3d]

Cool

[@chewytimmy]

[@chewytimmy]

@@YouAndMeAcademy ...I sent y'all an email!

[@bbrother92]

Can you do this with Blender? What do you think about blender?

[@cekuhnen]

yes of course same idea about shaders, area lights, and animation.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Absolutely! These concepts are based on real world techniques, which is what every 3D app is trying to replicate… the real world.

[@cekuhnen]

@@YouAndMeAcademy it is really funny how much people dont think about lighting in rendering the same way we do in a physical studio ..

[@sheldondrake8935]

really great but please no music next time
