As some of you may know, I don't intend to make many more Minecraft related photos. (If any.) So I feel that this may be a good time to give back to the community that has supported me in the short time that I have been here. I'm going to give out download links to the water material, and the physical sky I have used in just about all of my pictures/animations in which I used Cinema 4D. I'm mainly giving these out because I don't even use Cinema 4D anymore. And keeping these effects to myself would be a waste. I hope these presets help you just as much as they did for me. You are free to use these in any way you would like, including commercially. Giving credit to me for using these presets isn't required, but I do appreciate it! If you do make something using these effects, do send me a link to it! Or even just leave a comment on this journal with the link. I would love to see what you guys use them for!

Please keep in mind, these presets WILL increase your render time. (sometimes by 10x or more depending on your PC) They are not well optimized for render speed, and are designed around the best quality that I could achieve.




Physical Sky:

This is the physical sky I used in these photos. (Which are the photos I see as my greatest creations.)




This physical sky is the most resource intensive of my presets. It requires Ambient Occlusion and Global Illumination to be enabled in your render settings for it to have full effect. You will most likely need to rotate it to get it to fit your particular scene, as the ways you can use this preset are limited due to the physics of light. So this may not work for every scene.

How to add to my scene:
Open up the .C4D file that you downloaded from my Dropbox link, and it will be entirely empty except for the physical sky. Simply select the physical sky, use CTRL + C to copy it (or the equivalent of that on a mac) and then either create a new scene, or open up an existing scene, and use CTRL + V to paste it in. Once you have pasted the sky in, it will take effect and will show up in renders. If you don't like the direction the sky is facing, simply rotate it to fit your scene.




Water Shader/Material:

I used this water shader in my two greatest Minecraft photos.


(Can't remember if I used it in any other photos.)

How to add to my scene:
Open up the .C4D file you downloaded from the Dropbox link above, and it will also be entirely empty except for the water material down at the bottom. Simply select the water material and use CTRL + C (or the equivalent on a mac) to copy it, and either create a new scene, or open an existing one, and then use CTRL + V to paste the material into it. You can then drag the material on to whatever object you want to look like water.




I am willing to add any other Cinema 4D effects/objects I haven't included here. These to are the main ones that I consistently used, and I see as the only ones you guys would be interested in. I'm not giving out any Blender presets for those who are wondering, because there is no preset. xD You can't just copy and paste the Blender effects I use, they require tweaking on a per scene basis.

I am also a little rusty on Cinema 4D. So I may not be able to answer as many questions as I might have been able to 6 months ago. I also do not know if these files will work in older versions of Cinema 4D. I believe I am currently using Cinema 4D R15.
