On my old download page I had a set of lighting presets for download. I have had a few requests for these and decided to update them to the newer GI and place them here for download.

You do need Cinema4D r11.5 with the Advanced Render to use these, they all use Global Illumination. The GI settings are set low for the presets, so you may want to increase this when you use them on your own projects.

Here’s a preview of each of the included presets. I hope you find them useful.

Download the presets here.

Lighting Presets

Hi everyone and welcome to helloluxx, the new home of my blog.

As a thank you for all the continued support, I’ve created a Light Dome scene that you can download for use in your own Cinema4D scenes. You will need MoGraph to use the setup and I created it using Cinema4D r11.5, but it should work fine in r11, and maybe even 10.5.

Light Dome - Basic Render Result

The Light Dome is fairly straight forward to use. Here’s a screenshot of the available parameters.

I’ve also created a short tutorial that gives you a quick overview of the controls. You can check this out on Vimeo.

Alex from aenhancers (awesome site by the way) asked an interesting question regarding the More Randomness post. He was interested to see if the same principle could be applied to lights.

So I decided to do a quick test. The answer is to use the MoGraph Color Shader in the Transparency Channel and add this to your lights. Then use the Random Effector on your Cloner Object.
