    Hi Everyone,

    I’m starting to redesign my TV stations news graphics. I’ve been doing some research for the last week, and I’ve seen some amazin graphics from two companies that have inspired me.

    Giant Octopus http://www.giantoctopus.com

    Renderon http://www.renderon.com

    Both of these companies are well known within the industry. I’m looking to do some similar graphics. My animation skill are pretty good, but when it comes to lighting and texturing. I need some help.

    This is where you come in. How do I make a good looking glass material in Cinema? How do I make a good looking metal material in Cinema? Lastly, lighting scense like this seem to be a nightmare. Can you suggest how to use lighting setups for motion graphics? Thanks

    Also if you have any other links for broadcast news stuff it would be greatly apperciated. Thanks

    C4 comes with some wicked glass textures already. You have to load them up in the texture area from the basic file.

    They had a glass list on their website with refraction index lists too
