With the help of this 3 hour long set of videos, presented by Janine Pauke of 3D Fluff, you will learn how to effortlessly produce photorealistic and great looking product renders with CINEMA 4D Release 12. A large part of the tutorial requires only CINEMA 4D Prime to complete, and you will end up with a completed project and a convincing product render using only those basic tools. The videos will then take you through additional features such as global illumination, HDRI and cloth to arrive at a genuinely photorealistic result.

With an emphasis on photorealism, the videos cover an entire project from start to finish since even in the modeling phase there are important things to watch out for. The smallest details can make or break an image and the illusion that what the viewer is looking at might actually be a photo.

The difficulty level of this product is intermediate and assumes a basic level of knowledge of CINEMA 4D. No in-depth knowledge required.

Main topics covered:
