Model, Texture, and Render an Interior Scene With Cinema 4D and VRay: Part 1



In this beginner/ intermediate level tutorial, you will learn how to create and render a realistic interior scene in Cinema 4D and Vray. The first day will focus on modeling the room and all of the furniture, and the second on materials, lights, rendering, and post production.
Step 1
Open a new Cinema 4D file, and go to 'Edit' > 'Preferences' > 'Units' (Ctrl + E), and set the "Basic Units" to "Centimeters". Create a new cube object, and in the 'Attributes' panel, change the "Size" to '500', '250', and '400', and the "segments" to '2', '1', '5'. In the 'Coordinates' panel, set the 'Y' position to '125' cm.



Step 2
Select the cube, and make it editable (C). Using the 'Live Selection' tool, select all of the polygons that you can see in the viewport, and delete them.



Step 3
Go to the top view (F2), and using the 'Live Selection' tool again, un-check "Only Select Visible Elements" in the 'Attributes' panel, then select the second and fourth strip of polygons.



Step 4
Pick the 'Scale' tool (T), and start dragging along the blue axis. After you begin dragging, hold the left mouse down, then press and hold the "shift" key, and scale the strips of polygons down to 0.2. Be careful not to press the "shift" key at the same time as the mouse button, or it will have a different effect.



Step 5
Select the bottom strip of polygons and set the 'Z' position to '-122.5' cm. Then set the top strip to '-57.5' cm. Now go to the perspective view (F1), and in 'Point Mode', delete any useless points.



Step 6
Still in 'Point Mode', switch to the top view (F2), select the only cut that is on the 'X' axis, and set the 'X' position to '-160' cm.



Step 7
Go to the perspective view (F1), and select the polygons to delete.



Step 8
Select the remaining side polygons, pick the 'Extrude' tool (D), set the "Offset" (in the 'Attributes' panel) to '-90' cm, and hit apply. Go to 'Point Mode', and using the 'Live Selection' tool with "Only Select Visible Elements" unchecked, drag over the bottom points on the floor. Go to 'Functions' > 'Optimize', and hit "OK" with default settings. Nothing will appear to have happened, but in actuality you have just merged any superfluous points.



Step 9
In the 'Object' panel, select the cube and turn 'X-Ray' on. Then, in 'Edge Mode', select the edges to bevel.



Step 10
Go to 'Structure' > 'Bevel', set "Inner Offset" to '0.5' cm, and hit "Apply". Turn the X-Ray back on, and delete the 'Phong' tag in the 'Object' panel. Rename the cube to 'Walls'



Step 11
Create a new cube, set the "Size" to '260' cm, '85' cm, and '45' cm. Turn on "Fillet", and set the "Radius" to '0.5' cm. Set the coordinates to '-120' cm, '42'.5 cm, and '-90' cm. Rename it to 'Unit', and delete the 'Phong' tag again.



Step 12
Make a copy of the cube you have just created. Change the "Size" to '265' cm, '5' cm, and '50' cm, and the 'Y' position to '87.5' cm.



Step 13
Create another copy of the 'Unit' object, change the size to '95' cm, '250' cm, and '5' cm, and set the position to '-205' cm, '125' cm, and '-112.5' cm. Make another copy, and change the 'Z' position to '-67.5' cm.



Step 14
Create yet another copy the 'Unit' object. Change the "Size" to '90' cm, '2' cm, and '45' cm, and the position to '-202.5' cm, '100' cm,and '-90' cm. Now select the most recent copy, and in the 'Object' panel, go to 'Functions' > 'Duplicate'. In the 'Attributes' panel, set the "Copies" to '2', and "Move" to '0' cm, '50' cm, and '0' cm, then hit "Apply". Move the first 'Unit' object into the 'unit_copies' object, and rename the 'Null Object' to 'Shelf'.



Step 15
Create a new cube. Set the "Size" to '50' cm, '80' cm, and '250' cm, and the position to '-225' cm, '40' cm, and '75' cm. Change "Z segments" to '5', and then make it editable (C). In 'Polygon Mode', select the last segment, and go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D). Then, in 'Attributes' panel, change the "Offset" to '150' cm, and hit "Apply".



Step 16
Staying in the 'Polygon Mode', deselect the remaining polygons, and go to 'Structure' > 'Knife' (K). Then, in the 'Knife' tool's 'Attributes' panel, change the mode to "Loop". Drag the mouse the over the edges that you added before, and you will see a white line showing a preview of the cut. If you want to make a cut final, just press the left mouse button. Before you can do that, however, you have to set an exact percent value. Drag over the edge on the corner of the model, and then hit the "shift" key. Your cut should be gray now, which means that we can insert any percent value into the 'Attributes' panel. Go there, and set the "Offset" to '5%', press "Enter", and click anywhere in the viewport. You should have a nice cut in your model now.



Step 17
Go to 'Selection' > 'Loop Selection' (UL). Select the bottom line of polygons and go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D). Set the "Maximum Angle" to '90°', and the "Offset" to '-3 cm'. Hit "Apply".



Step 18
Pick the 'Live Selection' tool, with 'Only Select Visible Elements' turned off, and select all of the top polygons on the model. Go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D), set the "Offset" to '5 cm', and hit "Apply". Pick the 'Loop Selection' tool (UL), and select the top line of polygons you have just made. Go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D), and leave the "Offset" at '5 cm'. Hit "Apply" again, and let the polygons stay selected. It will be useful in the next step.



Step 19
Now, hold down the 'Ctrl' key, and click on the 'Edge Mode' icon. The selection should automatically switch to edges, but now you should have a few unwanted vertical edges selected. Go to 'Selection' > 'Ring Selection' (UB). Drag the mouse over the selection until you see your new selection overlapping the unwanted vertical edges. Hold down the "Ctrl" key again, and click the left mouse. Now you should have just the horizontal edges selected.



Step 20
Go to 'Structure' > 'Bevel' (MS), set the "Inner Offset" to '0.5 cm', and hit "Apply". Delete the 'Phong' tag in the 'Object' panel. Name it 'Kitchen_Unit'.



Step 21
Create a new cube. Change proportions to '250 cm', '2 cm', and '40 cm', and the position to '-220 cm', '210 cm', and '75 cm'. Set the "Radius" to '0.2 cm'. Now, copy the cube, and change the 'Y' position to '170 cm'. Make another copy, change dimensions to '250 cm', '40 cm', and '30 cm', and move it up a little to '190 cm'. In the 'Object' panel, select the three cubes, and move it under the Null Object (Alt + G). Name it 'Cupboard'.



Step 22
Create a new cube. Change the size to '200 cm', '210 cm', and '50 cm', and change its position to '55 cm', '115 cm', and '175 cm'. Change the "Fillet Radius" to '0.5 cm', with 1 segment. Delete the 'Phong' tag, and name it 'cupboard_right'.



Step 23
Now you have to create a door for the cupboard. Open a new C4D file, and create a new cube with the proportions '3 cm', '75 cm', and '60 cm'. Increase the "Z segments" to '4'. Make the cube editable (C), the go to 'Selection' > 'Loop Selection' (UL), and select the two middle lines of polygons. Go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D), set the "Maximum Angle" to '90°', and the "Offset" to '-0.5 cm', then hit "Apply".



Step 24
Deselect the polygons, and go to 'Structure' > 'Knife' (K). In the 'Attributes', panel select "Loop Selection". Create two cuts exactly in the middle of the two remaining lines of polygons.



Step 25
Go to 'Edge' mode, and using "Loop Selection" (UL), select the two cuts you have just created. Go to 'Structure' > 'Bevel' (MS), set the "Offset" to '0.5 cm', and click "Apply". You should have two very narrow loops of polygons. Go to 'Polygon' mode, pick the "Loop Selection" tool (UL), and select them. Go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D), set the "Offset" to '-0.5 cm', and click "Apply".



Step 26
Create a new tube. Go to the 'Attributes' panel, and open only the "Object" and "Slice" tabs. Set the "Inner Radius" to '4 cm', the "Outer Radius" to '5 cm', the "Rotation Segments" to '16', the "Cap Segments" to '1', the "Height" to '1.5 cm', the "Fillet Radius" to '0.1 cm', with 1 segment, and "Slice" from '-90°' to '90°'. In the "Object" panel, go to the Phong Tag, and set the "Phong Angle" to '40°'. Set the position to '1.5 cm', '25 cm', and '26.5 cm'. Go to the "Object" panel, select both objects, move them under the Null Object (Alt + G), and name it "door".



Step 27
Select the door object, copy it (Ctrl + C), then go back to your main room file and paste it (Ctrl + V). Switch to the right view (F3). Select the "Object Axis" Tool, and drag the blue axis to the zero position. You can check the position in the 'Coordinates' panel, or just rewrite it there, then press "Enter".



Step 28
Go back to the perspective view (F1), and select the "Model" tool again. You can now change the position of the model as well as the axis. Place the door object at the coordinates '-198 cm', '55 cm', and '-15 cm'. Make two copies of the door object, and change their 'Z' positions to '50 cm' and '115 cm'.



Step 29
Make another copy of the door, and in the 'Coordinates' panel, set the 'H' rotation to '-90°', then move it to the coordinates '-81 cm', '55 cm', and '148 cm'. Duplicate the door once more, and change the 'X' position to '-146 cm'.



Step 30
Create a new cube, change the size to '45 cm', '25 cm', and '45 cm', then set the "Fillet Radius" to '10 cm', with '5' segments. Make it editable (C), go to the right view (F3), and switch to 'Point' mode. Pick the "Rectangle Selection" tool, check off the "Only Select Visible Elements" option, select the entire upper group of points except last line, and then delete them. Now go back to perspective view (F1), switch to the 'Model' tool, place the object at the coordinates '-223 cm', '83 cm', and '100 cm', and rename it 'sink'.



Step 31
Duplicate the sink object, and hide one of them. Then go to 'Polygon' mode, select the visible one, and go to 'Structure' > 'Close Polygon Hole' (MD), and drag the mouse over the top edge of the sink. When you see white cover it, then left click. Go to the 'Object' panel, and drag the 'kitchen_unit' above the closed sink object.



Step 32
Go to 'Objects' > 'Modeling' > 'Boole', and drag the closed sink and 'kitchen_unit' under the 'Boole' object in the hierarchy. Select the 'Boole' object, and go to the 'Attributes' panel. Make sure that "Boolean Type" is "A subtract B". Now unhide the first sink object and adjust the 'Y' position to '82.5 cm'.



Step 33
Go to 'Edge' mode and select the sink object (not the one in the Boole object), then go to 'Selection' > 'Loop Selection' (UL), and select the top edge of the sink. Go to 'Structure' > 'Extrude' (D), set the "Offset" to '0', and press "Apply". It may seem that nothing happened, but it is not true.



Step 34
Pick the 'Scale' tool (T), and start dragging out the gray center (between the red and blue axes). Go to 'Polygon' mode, pick the "Loop Selection" tool (UL), and select the circuit of polygons. Pick the "Extrude" tool (D), set the "Offset" to '-0.5 cm', and press "Apply".



Step 35
Open a new Cinema 4D file, and insert the cube. Set the size to '30 cm', '30 cm', and '30 cm'. Switch to the right view (F3), go to 'Objects' > 'Create Spline' > 'B-Spline', and hold down the "Ctrl" key to start drawing a spline according to the image below.



Step 36
Go to the perspective view (F1), and delete the 'cube' object. Go to 'Objects' > 'Spline Primitive' > 'Circle', and in the 'Attributes' panel, set the "Radius" to '1 cm'. Go to 'Objects' > 'NURBS' > 'Sweep NURBS', then drag the 'Spline' and 'Circle' objects into the 'Sweep NURBS' object in the hierarchy. In the 'Object' panel, select both objects ('Spline' and 'Circle'), then in 'Attributes' panel, change the "Intermediate Points" to "Natural", and set the value to '1'. Go back to the 'Object' panel, select the 'Sweep NURBS' object, and make it editable (C), then delete both 'Caps'.



Step 37
Go to 'Polygon' mode, pick the "Loop Selection" tool (UL), and select the outer loops of polygons. Pick the "Extrude" tool (D), set the "Offset" to '0.3 cm', and the "Subdivisions" to '1', then press "Apply".



Step 38
Leave the polygons selected, then pick the "Extrude Inner" tool (MW) from the 'Stucture' menu, set the "Offset" to '0.3 cm', and press "Apply". Go to 'Objects' > 'NURBS' > 'Hyper NURBS', and move the 'Sweep NURBS' into the 'Hyper NURBS' object in the hierarchy.



Step 39
Copy the whole HyperNURBS object (Ctrl + C), go back to your main room file, paste it (Ctrl + V), and set the position to '-235 cm', '100 cm', and '85 cm', and the 'H' rotation to '-45°'.

Go to the perspective view (F1) and rename the Hyper NURBS to 'cup'. Copy and paste it into the main scene, and place it at '-20 cm', '95 cm', and '-80 cm'.



Step 103
Create some copies of the cup, and distribute them on the hooks.



Step 104
Open a new Cinema 4D file, create a cylinder and set the "Radius" to '9 cm', the "Height" to '1 cm', the "Rotation Segments" to '45', the "Fillet Radius" to '0.1 cm' with 1 segment, and then make it editable (C). Set the "Phong Angle" to '40°'. Pick the "Loop Selection" tool (UL), select the top polygons of the cylinder, pick the "Extrude Inner" tool (I), and in the 'Attributes' panel, set the "Offset" to '8 cm', then click "Apply".



Step 105
With the polygons still selected, pick the "Extrude" tool (D), set the "Offset" to '2 cm', and click "Apply".



Step 106
Create a new cylinder, set the "Radius" to '1 cm', the "Height" to '8 cm', the "Orientation" to '-X', the "Fillet Radius" to '0.2 cm' with '3' segments, and change the 'Y' position to '3 cm'.



107
Create a new cylinder, and set the "Radius" to '0.3 cm', the "Height" to '40 cm', and the "Rotation Segments" to '24', and change the position to '3 cm' and '23 cm'. Duplicate it, and change the 'X' position to '-3 cm.'



Step 108
Pick the "Live Selection" tool, and select last three cylinders. Set the 'P' rotation in the 'Attributes panel' to '-90°', and change the position to '0 cm', '43 cm', and '10 cm'.



Step 109
Select the last six cylinders and group them (Alt + G).



Step 110
Switch to the right view (F3), go to 'Axis' mode, and drag the axis to the coordinates '0 cm', '3 cm', and '0 cm'.



Step 111
Go to the perspective view (F1), select the last two cylinders, and change their heights to '25 cm' and their 'Z' positions to '12 cm'.



Step 112
Duplicate the third cylinder and move it under the Null Object in the hierarchy. Change the 'Z' position to '25 cm'.



Step 113
Go to 'Objects' > 'Create Spline' > 'B-Spline', and hold down the "Ctrl" key to start drawing a spline according to the image below. Go to 'Objects' > 'NURBS' > 'Lathe NURBS', and set the 'Z' position to '29 cm'.



Step 114
Move the spline object under the 'Lathe NURBS' in hierarchy. Select the spline in the 'Object' panel, then in the 'Attributes' panel, change the "Intermediate Points" to "Natural" with a value of '8'. Move the 'Lathe NURBS' object under the 'Null' object in hierarchy.



Step 115
Select the 'Null' object, and set the 'P' rotation to '25°'.



Step 116
Select everything in the 'Object' panel, group it (Alt + G), and name it 'lamp'.



Step 117
Copy and paste the 'lamp' object into the main scene at position '-70 cm', '92 cm', and '-90 cm'. Add some rotation for variety.



Step 118
I have rendered the preview image by enabling "Ambient Occlusion" in the "Render Settings". We will cover more detailed materials, lighting, and rendering in the next part .
