4. Quick Tutorial: Lighting
If you are already familiar with lighting a scene in the real world then you will feel right at home with the Cinema4D
light objects. They can do everything real lights can do – and quite a bit more. In this tutorial we will set up a 3-point
lighting arrangement. This type of arrangement is used often in portrait photography to achieve an even lighting and
is an excellent method for lighting an object quickly and professionally in the 3D world.
Open the file QS_Light.c4d and adjust your editor view so the entire figure is visible to you.
We want to light up our little character. Create a floor object (Create/Environment/Floor) and position it so the figure
is standing on it.
