Creative 3D Visualization with Cinema 4D & V-Ray

Learn 3D visualization with Cinema 4D & V-Ray: creative scene building, materials, lighting & rendering for realistic visuals and animations.

Course Objective
Participants will learn to create creative 3D scenes in Cinema 4D and render them realistically with V-Ray. The goal is to develop photorealistic visuals and animations that can be used in architecture, product design, media, and professional presentations.

Target Group
- Architects, interior designers, and planners
- Students in architecture, interior design, or related fields
- Professionals in real estate, construction, or visualization
- Educators aiming to integrate 3D visualization into teaching
- Anyone with basic knowledge in architecture/design wanting to enhance their visualization skills

Course Content
Fundamentals & Overview
- Introduction to Cinema 4D: interface, navigation, scene setup
- Getting started with V-Ray: Cinema 4D integration and basic render settings
Modeling & Scene Setup
- Importing and creating basic 3D models
- Building a scene focused on architecture or product design
- Organizing the project with layers, objects, and cameras
Materials & Textures in V-Ray
- Working with the V-Ray material system
- Creating realistic surfaces (metal, wood, glass, plastic)
- Using textures, bump and displacement maps
Lighting & Rendering with V-Ray
- Light types: Dome Light, IES, spot and area lights
- HDRI-based lighting for realistic environments
- Optimizing render settings (quality, speed, global illumination)
- Multipass render and output for post-production
Final Project & Presentation
- Creating an independent scene with lighting and materials
- Producing a final render (image or short animation)
- Exporting results in various formats (JPEG, PNG, EXR, video)
- Presentation & group feedback
