Sci-Fi Scenes in 3D with Cinema 4D and OctaneRender

Start the course by getting to know 3D artist Fabian Oberhammer (The Dizzy Viper) a little better. He tells you about his background and the artists who have inspired him both personally and in his creations.

Next, take a look at his preparation process, as well as some tricks and tips he's developed to work as quickly and efficiently as possible. Choose which elements and colors to use, search through different sources for 3D models and textures, then distribute them throughout your scene in Cinema 4D. Decide on the camera position to get just the right view of your image.

It's time to hone in on the details! Through trial and error, gradually work out the perfect combination of lights and finishes. Make some small adjustments to the textures and add natural and artificial lights to create the desired atmosphere. Liven up the scene with passing cars, pedestrians, and streetlights.

Finally, Fabian teaches you how to render your images correctly, as well as how to retouch and correct them in Photoshop.

To round off the course, prep your renders to share on Instagram and find the right hashtags for your project.
