Description
these are a couple different lighting set-ups that i did in cinema 4d, i couldn't think of any other way to show them so i just what they look like with a side view...make an obj set the material to luminance turn off all others, you may have to play with the levels most of these are at 150% you can get different effect, also you can change the colors to make different lighting colors.
i did all of these in cinema4d r11 so if you have 10.5 your glass will not look the same as mine does... but eventually it will
(you must turn on gi to see the lights, and turn off autolight)
no other lights used what you see is what you get... no caustics use ether, and in r11 it makes its own caustics off of an illuminate obj. so that's why their are some in these.
any other question just let me know but its really just to show different setups...
thanks for looking.

No matter how many times I tried I wasn't able to make the lights go 'invisible'. I tick the option in light properties but they are still visible in the renders :/ Sometimes it's cool, but sometimes it's getting on my nerves :]
Waiting for the 3smax 2009 bible to come ;]

witch renderer do you use vray or matel ray??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
vray 1.5 if I recall correctly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya way different. i wish i had vray it would make my life a hole lot easyer lol.

I found it! In light parameters, there are 3 'affect' options: diffuse, specular and reflections. After I unchecked 'affect reflections' my vray light wasn't reflected in render.

cool. i knew it was possible. just need to find it.

Of course
Do you think that creating movie with scene overview would be a good idea? Explaining light setup and all?

I tried many different render engines but vray seems to be the fastest with very good results and ease of use.
