excellent fundamental breakdown of lightening and using various C4D lights and lighting techniques. Also a great explanation of how and when to use GI and AO in your renders as well as how to tweak render settings to obtain desired results.

I've taken several courses on C4D. This course really clarifies and explains how all the different components (lights, objects, materials, and render settings) work together to create the final render. A masterful context for understanding C4D lighting!

Das Video könnte gerne höher aufgelöst ergo schärfer sein. Meine Bewertung bezieht sich im Moment weniger auf den Inhalt, sondern mehr auf die Qualität der Videos. Inhaltlich würde ich zwischen vier und fünf Sterne vergeben.

I really enjoyed this course. I bought it after completing an earlier one by Ozgur. His instruction is clear and easy to follow and delivered in a very pleasant and friendly manner. Cinema 4D is a very deep application but the course builds up gradually from the basics at a steady pace and the student never feels overwhelmed. I look forward to more courses from Ozgur. Highly recommend.

A lot of useful information but not going in depth. You need to do some research yourself but it is a good start

Unfortunately, 5 stars are not eligible here. The lecturer talks much too fast. On YT you can find better tutorials for this and that for free. I asked for my money back.

Some good information on lighting, but I think it lacks depth when you're talking about professional lighting and renders there's definitely more lighting techniques. Material interaction with different lighting types isn't explained and Pro Render isn't even mentioned on the course, so maybe it's also outdated.

This was my second course from this Instructor. Extremely articulate. Deep knowledge and experience with each subject. Presentation silky smooth and professional. Nice pace. Continuous visual examples. I've been working with C4D for several years and this course filled in all the annoying little gaps in my understanding of Cinema 4D and this subject. Completed in a couple of hours. Absolutely painless. Thank you.

I learned a lot from this course that I think will help me improve my renders. The instructions are clear, concise, and given at a good pace. I liked how the instructor explained the how's and the why's of the different lighting techniques and their effects. I came away with a much better grasp of the world of lighting.

This course covers all the subjects you need to learn to start lighting scenes. As a beginner to Cinema 4D, I found it particularly useful. Also, I appreciate its concision. You learn a lot in the 2 hours of video.

It is very detailed as far as lighting is concerned. But. There is nothing at all, nothing about external lighting. It says "professional lighting techniques" but how can it be professional if the whole external lighting part is missing? ---- Update. Thank you for your response. I have completed your another course, Cinema 4d Masterclass. I think you do a good job. Your courses are absolute useful for beginners. This lighting course is similar to the previous one. I can understand tools and some basic technics but it's not "professional" level. I would be very happy with an advanced course. I am sure it would be great from you :) Thanks, anyway.

I enjoyed the course, thank you. I would've liked to see some "real" scenes for the lighting demonstrations. For example, a full Interior scene of a room with tables, chairs, windows or exterior scenes and how to light them using the Sun light. All-in-all though, it was a very enjoyable course.
