Advanced Lighting in C4D

Advanced lighting using the new physical renderer in R13 of C4D, trying for a more subtle tonal range using more than the usual three point lights, first is the orginal render and the second is post work in Photoshop.

Newport Civic

Another Chris Foss style render

Another render this time more true to the original tutorial and style.

Total War Poster

Old School

An old school type image created in Photoshop... just because... lol don't ask me? again thanks to the good folks at PSTutes.com for providing the original inspiration.

Plasma Ball

Still working my way through the Photoshop tutorials over at abduzeedo.com, this "plasma ball" image is 100% Photoshop, I'm currently working on C4D and After Effects integration for a short demo reel... so watch this space!

Eclipse

Another Photoshop image, this one based closely on a tutorial found at Abduzeedo's design and Photoshop site, a great resource for Photoshop users and a fantastic source of inspiration for designers working in any media.

Kitchen render

What can only be described I suppose as the ubiquitous kitchen render, everyone has to do at least one….

Vray Render

Test render using the VRay render engine and soft depth of field effect, some post work in photoshop.
