Lighting Effects in Cinema 4D Animation

Hi, this is John Castarphen for Expert Village. These arrows in the far left corner are for "undo" and "redo". Starting with the edit menu in the viewport window, there are several commands that allow you to frame the scene quickly. Frame selected elements, frame active objects, frame the scene without camera and lighting, or frame the scene. "Frame scene" frames all the objects within the frame. So I am going to add a light here, going to add another light just out of range, and then we "frame scene." The camera will move to frame all the objects in your scene. So let's go back to default..."Frame default." If you use the "render view" option is enabled, the active view camera of the active viewport is used for the rendering in the picture viewer...Use as render view...so this is what will get rendered. This view is what will get rendered.
