My first try

[Mounib Al Sibai]

Hello all,

Here is my first rendeing in C4D,

 

I've tried to use sky dome with Lum material, and I got a nicer rendering but I lost the shadows. so I enabled the cast shadow box in the tag option, so I wonder any suggesting??

 

Cheers,

nice start, but my suggestions are -

 

turn down you main shadow casting light to about 50-60% and try that, the image wont be as bright.

 

put the diffuse depth to 1. looks like a few too many bounces in there.

 

turn off auto light.

 

make sure radiosity strength is no hight than 100%

 

work on those opacity mapped trees. you've not applied the material correctly.
