In this quick-tip video, we look at how to create a procedural colour-splatter effect in Cinema 4D and Redshift. This was a video request by a fellow Patron - if you have any video requests, feel free to message me on Patreon or Discord and I'll do my best to turn it into a video.

In this video, we look at how to improve Forester MultiFlora textures by lighting and texture this sunflower scene.
Even if you don't use Forester, these techniques can be applied to any model you may receive which perhaps doesn't have the best textures.
As always, if you have any que...

The thing is, there's already tonnes of 'overview' videos out there for Pyro and if I'm to make a video discussing it, I want it to be because I've...

In this video, we look at creating this landscape in Cinema 4D & Redshift, whilst talking about some key ways we can improve on our scenes through texturing, lighting, and the secret recipe, Redshift PostFX.
I think this will be an interesting one, and a change of pace from the product ...

Hi all!
I recently did a podcast with Jesse Nyberg about my journey into 3D and why I enjoy sharing knowledge.
I really enjoyed this conversation with Jesse and I hope you will too!
Enjoy,

Welcome back to another video! I've finally decided to upgrade to C4D 2023 and I thought this would be a perfect time to show how I create custom layouts, what preferences I adjust and my preset render settings.

Welcome back to another Feedback Session, this time looking at finessing this Gin Bottle scene, kindly submitted by Alistair, a fellow patron.
In this particular video, we focus on lighting and texturing, such as using randomwalk SSS to create a marble texture and using vertex maps to dial ...

In part 2 of this tutorial, we look at fine tuning our composition, but more importantly, creating a fully procedural soap shader. This one dives into some nodes which you may not have used before, but will definitely come in useful for future material creation.
I hope you enjoy! If you hav...

Hey everyone!
Welcome back to another video, and this time, it's a feedback session - although, I would argue this video ended up being more of a walkthrough and insight into my bottle rendering workflow. Nevertheless, we discuss why I'm approaching things how I am, such as lighting/texturi...
