As long as you have a basic idea about composition and exposure set-up, then Corona can take most of the technical part over. The raw render is not too far away from my PS image.Īs far as I’m concerned, Corona can help a lot during the setting up process. I finished it up with some Vignette and some Vibrance, again only in places i wanted. But basically, i added some light haze on the highlights via painting with Screen option, dodged a bit some lights to make them more warm in places, increased my contrast and balanced my overall color with some Color Balance. Unfortunately, my PSD is gone so I don’t have screenshots of it. Just a good balance between artificial lights and sunlight, along with a good composition and camera proper setup.and you’re DONE! All settings were left to default more or less, progressive renderer was chosen, and the rest you can see below.Īs i said, nothing crazy or strange. I don’t want to mess too much, so I only take care my color mapping and my RGB curves in the Corona settings.
I think the most easy part of the process is the render settings. So I spent time finding the correct settings that i wanted. Setting your camera correctly is crucial. As fair warning, I am a novice at After Effects, and it might be hard to explain stuff to me but help is severely needed. Playing with lights in Corona is also one of my favorite parts these weeks! These are just right out of Cinema, so it helps me set up light balances for the final mood. Here are two examples from the scene (with HDRI only and lights only): Most often, i start setting my exterior light and then move onto my other sources. I enabled the photographic exposure from the Corona exposure and color mapping and played with my camera’s exposure. I like to control my exposure with the cameras options, so the same thing happened here. I used the same names for the actual corona lights, so below you can see all details for the lights above, including sizes, color temperatures and intensities. So, two entrance lights, a living room light for the ground lamp, four window lights for the window spots, two bed lights for the two lamps in the bedroom, a closet light for the closet and a kitchen light for the kitchen shelves. Below is a top viewport screenshot of the lights. Nothing more here:įor the artificial lamps, i used Corona lights and again played with the temperatures of the lights and their intensities. I also played with some afternoon ones but at the end i decided to stay with the 1934.Īlmost always, I attach a filter to the HDR texture, so that i can have a bit more control (in this case I only lowered the gamma down to 0.8). For this particular scene i used a Peter Guthrie map, the 1934. I tend to keep my whites quite low, around a 165 – 180 value in some cases at this point.įor the HDRI, i created a sky object and i attached a Corona material with an HDR texture in the emission slot. I often after some rough modeling with a white material and a fast check with some HDRIs I have. CoronaforC4D actually has a quite flexible way on dealing with HDRI. I almost always work with HDRIs, because it is the only way i can check easily my light set-up. This scene was actually a vray scene that I worked on some months ago for a commercial project, so I had only to work on some material conversions and some mood concepts to check how Corona would pull it through. I’m already using Corona for some months, and although still on the start, things look promising. I don’t have the patience to make super extra detailed blog posts, so I will try and make this post a bit basic and easy to follow.

#C4d render download
Hit the download button below each image get the pack you want.Today, we bring you a tutorial/making-of article about the sample Corona for C4D scene written by Thomas Vournazos. Have fun downloading the packs and remember its kind to credit someone for their work when used by you. I can honestly say all these C4D packs are worth it to download, High Resolution and 300DPI. I have taken the liberty to roundup 650+ C4D Renders for you to download and use in your designs, they are created by Stinky666 a designer from the UK. I know how many times I’ve gone looking for C4D renders to use in my designs and then it turns up I can’t find anything to use that I like.
