Here is a short render test for a tropical garden that I've designed. It has been modeled and rendered using Cinema 4D and the Advanced Render module.

The model itself still requires some finishing work. There are a few temporary lo-poly plants. The koi-carp themselves are currently static alpha-channel textures that will be eventually be individually animated models and there will also be animated caustic reflections.

As the main purpose of this test is to see if all the elements work together as planned, I haven't used global illumination. This has kept the rendering times at between 5-6 mins per frame.

  • I have a few questions. First of all i do NOT own this software im just using a trial, if i wanted to create a landscape with snowy mountains and fly through it with the view as if in an airplane, would i have to use any other software?

  • You would be able to achieve all this using Cinema 4d alone.

  • Is this done all in Cinema 4d? or was something else used as well.

  • Everything here is 100% C4D R9.1. I'm thinking of rendering the completed model in VRay for extra realism. Gonna do a couple of tests first.

  • Cool garden. The water actually looks and feels pretty real here is this done in realflow? Shame the fish dont move.

  • Thanks. The water is done cheap and cheerful. I took the pond shape and created a 3000x2000 pixel document in Motion. Then applied various effects to indicate waves, aeration and the waterfall ripples.

    This was then made to seamlessly loop at just 100 frames long. I placed the uncompressed movie into the water's displacement channel.

    The waterfalls were done in pretty much the same way. Unfortunately we can barely see them on this test but I'll post a full tour of the garden when complete.

see all
