C4D/Redshift Beginner Friendly Lighting and Compositing

This tutorial will show you a super basic set up for interior lighting in C4D and Redshift. Using standard lights and gobos to add some texture. I also show how to bring it into After Effects by using aec compositing tags and rendering out object buffers aka puzzlemaps

This is absolute masterpiece. Great video and thanks for mentioning me in the video. :D Thank so much for making this video. I am currently working on multiple laptop templates creation and this just came in time. Best

[@kirkmanjames]

Wow! You have a really unique POV and approach to C4D that is SO helpful. I love that you stay true to a more intuitive Art Direction driven approach, but still get through all of the technical details needed to make the shot work. Super cool and refreshing!

[@FrankTank7777]

As always Elizabeth, mind blown. I love the colors you use and simplistic yet striking set design. It is not that I haven't seen a lot of what you have done in other tutorials, but the way you bring all the elements together into something practical and useful is inspiring. My mind is now thinking about what else one can do with a gobo. Maybe I am the only one that did not think of it, but instead of the caustics (which is so cool) one can do the same process to create the caustics but use plants moving in the wind. Just add to the story that we are trying to create here.
Lastly I have to say my favorite quote was: "you can never have enough rainbows", cracked me up.

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

What a nice compliment, thanks for all the kind words. Yes plants are great, grayscale gorilla has a few cool ones and I believe they even animate 🙂

[@diegolanda1983]

Thank you very much for the tutorial! At minute 36:12 it is not that the screen has moved a pixel back, but that having made the split, a copy of the geometry was generated, so there are 2 overlapping "screens". I always delete the original polygons immediately after making the split, as they are still selected. Cheers!

[@TheDragoy]

Thank you for this lesson. Tell me why you don't use the ACES color space in your work as it is more flexible for color correction.

[@vosko3d]

Cool tut, thx, btw you need to switch off a Screen Space Adaptive at the Tesselation section of Redshift Tag, that dramatically slows down a Redshift IPR because you do not use a Freez Tesselation Function and when you use a camera movement, that does not work well

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

Isn't the shift + click keyframe erased? When I do it, no keyframes are created

Is there a way to make screen reflection using puzzle matte?

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

You can add a reflection as a second render pass (just drag underneath puzzle map) in the aov manager - but then your material on the screen needs to be shiny (or have some reflection on it).

Really amazing Tutorial.
I tried Corona, Octane but never tried Redshift
in Corona, Octane you can set Sample value to increase render speed
is there any similar option in Redshift?
44:03 wow that caustic effect look impressive

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

Yes you can also change sample rate in redshift , try 0.1-0.3 , the lower it is the longer the render (kinda like the opposite of octane) - if you are out of advance setting just put it on ‘low’

[@artyartemis5752]
