Using Poliigon HDRs to light a scene in Cinema 4D with Octane

In this tutorial we will be exploring how to light a scene using a low resolution .exr with a high resolution .jpg as the background to limit resource usage and increase system responsiveness without compromising the quality of our finished render.

I should point out that if you get a burned effect, go to your primary environement, select the little "node tree thingy" in the bottom. And then import your .exr via sliding it, set its parameters to 1 in gamma, and connect it. You well see it works.

You can also use standard c4d background object for this. The trick is to turn on the alpha channel in octane.
