#AskTheTrainer

Join us for another exciting #AskTheTrainer session on Thursday 27th January 2022 at 8am Pacific, as Cinema 4D Master Trainers Noseman and Jonas Pilz are going to talk about refractive materials and nested dielectrics. Driven by your questions, they will also show how to set up a scene with refractive objects correctly and share many useful tips along the way.

You can also submit questions ahead of time: training@maxon.net

Take your learning further on this topic by watching the excellent Cineversity series Deep Dive into Refractive Objects by Noseman: https://www.cineversity.com/vidplayli...

In this series we Noseman dives deep into the underlying concepts of Nested Dielectrics, shares how to setup models and materials for the best possible outcome, and shows how to render physically accurate water and glass in reasonable amounts of time.
