      Hi Everybody,

      I'm working on my first interior render with Vray for C4D (CINEMA 4D). Love some feedback on the renders.
      Model done in SU 😄 (still can't beat SU's ease of use). Rug is done in Cinema 4D with Vray Fast 2 Fur Option.
      I'm using Cinema 4D as sort of a big brother of sketchup. I first model in SU and then I import to C4D.
      I'n C4D I can do al the things SU won't let me do. Large Models, Trees ( Xfrog, Onyx etc ), Instancing and distribution of vegetation.The workflow works pretty well for me. Here are my first interior attempts.

        It looks good..what format for export from SU did you use..? and did you export with texture? I´ve tried also export to cinema thanks to 3ds format with textures but it didn´t work good for me.

          Thanks for the comment. I use 3ds and then export by material. In this way all is grouped by material in C4D. You can also use Collada. It imports with materials and textures in C4D. But I don't like the hierarchy when importing collada in C4D.

            Good to know that someone succeded in the sketchup>c4d+vray workflow! I am trying to follow this procedure aswell but i'm getting some problems, expecially with textures. Do you use the C4d command to convert materials into Vray materials? I'm using C4D r15.

              The automatic conversion of C4D to Vray material is crap. It's best to make your vray materials from scratch in C4D. Don't know if anything changed in the new Vray for C4d 1.8. The new vray has a lot of bugs so I would stay with 1.2.6.

                They look great, Twan, but I like the color saturation in the second image over the third.

                  hi.. i know this is an old thread, but maybe i can get some help

                  first of all, great renders..

                  my question is: i like Cinema 4D cause all of the reasons you mentioned, and i export models from sketchup in 3DS format, by material, as well
                  All works great, but only 7 out of 10 materials get exported...... some materials export as a solid color
                  and its not a C4D open file problem, its a sketchup export problem, because when i open the folder i exported the file to, some textures are not there...

                  does this happen to you? can you export to 3DS with all textures? if so, how do you do it?
