If that title is gibberish to you, then you obviously don’t know about smart image based lighting in Cinema 4D. Honestly, I didn’t know about the sIBL plugin until yesterday when I was poking around the tutorials at Pariah Studios. I have used HDRis for lighting before, but the sIBL plugin turns the difficulty for lighting a scene to “easy mode”.
Here are a few quick renders I did, using a few different sIBL sets from HDRLabs.com. Grouped images all use the same background, which is just rotated to show how the lighting changes automagically.
The sIBL loader for Cinema 4D can be found at microbion.co.uk
