Decent guides for Surface Channel options

[derekjackson]

Hi,
I'm trying to push CineRender a bit to see what we can get as a more flat, graphic look. I feel I'm halfway there, but could really do with a deeper understanding of some of the more advanced shaders.

Does anyone know of any good references / tutorials / courses? The standard AC online guidance is a bit thin when it comes to some of the more advanced concepts, particularly starting to play with combinations of Posterize and Lumas...

Try looking for this as for Cinema 4D, Cinerender is a lite version of the Cinema 4D render engine, so if you learn how they work in Cinema 4D you can understand how it works in ARCHICAD. I use Cinema 4D before Cinerender is in ARCHICAD, so when Cinerender came to ARCHICAD I felt at home.

I can't point you right now to a specific tutorial or something, but there is a lot of information online about shaders in Cinema 4D, a lot more than what is for Cienrender in ARCHICAD.

Hope that helps!

Good idea, thanks!
