In the 2nd video from this render, we dive into the project file to take a look at how we built the scene, covering a range of topics from Layers, Caustics, IES Lights and more.
I hope you find it useful, and as always, if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message :)
Many thanks,

Hey everyone!
In the first video of this month, we have a timelapse for this swimming pool render! I give a voiceover, which will give you an insight into my process and tell you a bit about how it was made.
I hope you find this useful, and keep an eye out for the next video where we will actually jump into the project file and pick it apart.
Enjoy! :)

This month, we have two videos discussing the creation of this swimming pool render:
1x Timelapse where I talk through my thinking of creating this scene
1x Breakdown where we jump into the project file and see how it is built.
I learnt a lot through the process of making this, so I am excited to share this one with you and I hope you find it useful!
Catch you in the video :)

Hey all!
Building on from the last tutorial, I worked into the Diffuser model/scene a little bit more and have put together this scene for you all to download.
It includes all the textures etc. for you to play with and adapt to your needs, so have fun with it and make sure to tag me in anything you make using it :)
Disclaimer: I have used Magic Bullet Looks for the post-production, so if you don't have access to that, just disable it in Redshift Post-FX and you should be good to go.
Also, if you can leave a rating on Gumroad it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In this video, we will create this diffuser from scratch, starting off with modelling, before moving onto lighting and texturing and then finishing off with rendering and some post-production.
We cover some great tips and tricks in this one so I hope you will all enjoy it!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to drop them below or shoot me a message :)
Enjoy!
Many thanks,
Ross

In the first video of this month, I am going to be doing a full walkthrough of creating this diffuser in Cinema 4D & Redshift. We will start from scratch, modelling the product, and then moving onto texturing, lighting, rendering and finally finishing with post-production.
This is a pretty in-depth one and should contain lots of little tips and tricks. I hope you enjoy :)

In Part 1 of this video, we look at building the composition of our scene - we will create our abstract shape and optimise it for our scene.
In Part 2, we will look at lighting and texturing our scene and get it ready for render!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message or drop it in the comments below :)
Many thanks,
Ross
In this months video, we will look at how to create this abstract shape + interior. We'll build the scene from scratch, starting with the composition and then moving onto lighting and texturing.
This one is packed full of lots of tips and tricks, which I'm excited to share with you!
Hope to see you there :)

In this timelapse video, we'll look at this recent piece I made. I'll talk about my process as well as some general life stuff.
Feel free to skip to 04:35 if you don't want to hear me waffling about OFFF.
Please let me know if you want more of these in the future :)
Peace and love,

In this video, we'll create a seascape hideaway in Cinema 4D and Redshift, completely from scratch. We'll run through the whole build, from composition, to lighting and texturing, and finishing with adding the final touches in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
This was an exciting one to make and I hope it's full of lots of knowledge for you all.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask below or shoot me a message.
I hope you enjoy :)

In this video, we'll look at this interior I made whilst freelancing at Frame for their film, 'Louis Poulsen Icons'. We will look at lighting, texturing and Redshift Post-FX, with some tips and tricks along the way.
This one was highly requested, so I hope you enjoy!
As always, if you have any questions just drop a comment down below :)
More interior tutorials soon...

In this first-ever quick tip video, we'll look at a really simple yet effective procedural setup for creating a carpet with wrinkles. This is something I use a lot for interior shots. Combine this with a good fabric material to get some juicy looks.
Hey all!
As much as I love Redshift, I do find that it can be a little tricky to get good lighting for interiors - it can sometimes take some tweaking to get things to look right, particularly if you're just relying on the Redshift Sun & Sky rig.
This scene is the result of me fiddling with settings and parameters to get what I think is a pretty good, soft lighting setup.
I want to share this file with you guys and hopefully it will be interesting to dive in and see what's going on under the hood.
What I found made the most difference was to turn down the intensity of the sun/sky rig and then compensate for the lack of light by increasing the exposure and clamping highlights in the RS post-fx. This gives you a bright look whilst keeping the balance between sun/sky nice and soft.
I think it may be useful for you guys to see me build something like this from scratch so you can get an insight into how I tackled it, so if that is something you want to see from me, just let me know in the comments :)

Hey everyone, I hope you're all well and enjoying the new year :)
In this video, we'll take a look at User Data and how we can use it to improve efficiency and flexibility in our workflows when it comes to texturing in Redshift.
This is something I use a lot in my projects and so I'm excited to share it with you all.
As always, I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :)

Hey everyone!
I hope you're all having a great start to the year.
I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who entered this contest, it was great to see all of your entries and it was really difficult to narrow it down to the top 5! It was a tough job to do, and so I'd like to thank Haruko and Luke for helping me out with this task.
Now I need all of your help! Leave your vote below and the top 3 votes will be the winners of this contest (I'll trust you guys not to vote for yourself). Download the Poster (attached) for a closer look at the artwork :)
Please don't feel discouraged if you haven't won on this occasion, there will be plenty more opportunities to get involved in contests in the future, and I've even got a contest going on currently with Greyscalegorilla, which is a great chance to get 1 whole year of GSG plus for free!
Thank you again for all the support, none of this would be possible without all of you!
Many thanks,
Ross
Hey everyone,
The second video of the month will talk about User Data in Redshift and how we can use it to improve the efficiency and flexibility of our workflow. We'll go over techniques to randomise textures across objects and how we can use one material across multiple objects whilst independently changing parameters across those objects.
This is something I use a lot in my projects and so I'm excited to share this with you! Dropping later this week.
Many thanks,
Ross
Hey everyone,
This is part 2 of a 2-part tutorial with my good friend Stephy Fung where we will discuss creating and rendering garments.
In this video, I will run you through how to light and texture this scene in Cinema 4D & Redshift, starting off with looking at some interesting techniques on how to texture this garment and then moving onto the rest of the environment.
I cover a range of texturing techniques in this video which I think are going to be really interesting and useful.
Let me know what you thought of this collaboration post and if you'd like to see more in the future. Hope you enjoy!
Many thanks,
Ross

Hey everyone,
Happy New Year!
To kickstart off this year, I will be bringing out something special - a collaboration tutorial with my good friend Stephy
In this 2-part tutorial, we will start off with Stephy showing you how to create a garment in Clo3D and then export it to C4D, and in part 2, I will show you how to light and texture a scene with the garment, featuring some pretty interesting techniques.
I'm really excited to share this one with you and I hope you'll all find it really valuable. It will be released later this week.
