  • Questions about lighting and camera set up

    Posted by Jessica Love on February 19, 2026 at 8:10 pm

    Hi!

    So I am still relatively new to C4D, and have some questions involving setting up a camera and lights.

    I wanted to have a character who’s walk cycle is already done to walk across a certain sized area, let’s say about 15000 pixels by 2000 pixels. I wanted the camera to only see this template exactly.

    And I wanted consistent lights on the character as they move across the template. But to not affect the background template

    Are there any tips or suggestions to help me achieve this?

    Hi Jessica,

    You could adjust the camera’s focus by entring the desired values ​​in the output. As for the light, you could do it by excluding the ground in the lighting settings. I hope this is helpful.
