CINEMA 4D Renderer

This is the Quickstart Tutorial for the CINEMA 4D renderer. It will show you many of the CINEMA 4D renderer’s

typical applications and covers some theoretical physics behind the effects.

1. General Information / Interface

As soon as you open the Render Settings (main menu: Render / Edit Render Settings...) you will ﬁnd

parameters such as Global Illumination by clicking on the Effect... button. If Global Illumination is enabled,

other options will be made available, which allow you to create custom settings for radiosity. A material’s

illumination settings are closely associated with the render settings. These settings let you determine if a

particular material should be rendered with Global Illumination. Further settings can be applied to individual

objects using the Compositing tag.
