Environment Building in Cinema 4D and Octane

Overview

“In this lesson, you learned to enhance your 3D landscape by adding a displacement map to create realistic textures and sharp edges. You also adjusted the settings for smoothness and integrated a dark rocks effect to ground the elements touching the landscape. Finally, you rendered the final image and prepared it for post-production in Photoshop.”
