Studio Kit for Cinema 4D

Studio Kit Quick Tip - Pro Lighting in a Few Clicks

Learn-in a few clicks-how to use the Studio Kit for Cinema 4D to build clean, realistic studio lighting. In this Quick Tip, I go through every option, one by one, so you understand exactly what each control does and how it impacts your render.

We cover the three customizable lights-Octagon Softbox, Giraffe Softbox, and LED Neo Tube-plus the included Background Stand (non-customizable). You’ll see how to size and position each light, tune softness and falloff for convincing shading, and compose a simple studio that renders fast and looks pro.

Render Settings

Using the included test scene, we start with the default Cinema 4D render and then step-by-step enable Ambient Occlusion (AO) and Global Illumination (GI). You’ll see minimal, clean settings for fast previews and a crisp final pass—adding bounce light and contact shadows without unnecessary noise or long render times.

3 Custom Light Types & Background Stand Included

Get everything you need for clean studio lighting. The three lights are pre-rigged with targets for fast, precise control, and the Background Stand drops in for quick logo/type comps and seamless renders.

Includes: Octagon Softbox, Giraffe Softbox, LED Neo Tube (customizable) + Background Stand.
Tested: C4D R12–R15.

Thankyou Mustapha so much for providing this free Cinema 4D lighting props and scene, this will really add to the realism of my studio shots.

Wow, such a great package!
Thank you so much for sharing this, that’s really super cool of you Mustapha ! 😉

May i ask you one thing though, why didn’t you include a target slot in the “Giraffe Softbox” as you did in the “Octagon Softbox” ?
The Giraffe does not even have a rotational feature of any kind, was it done on purpose?

  Thanks!
  
  The Target Object is not very practical with Giraffe softbox,
  the Giraffe softbox it’s very easy to handle using her control panel.
  
  Note: I willingly clamped the SoftBox, so that it remains parallel to the Floor.

  I tested it on r12 and above, everything works great and there are no problems. If the problem persists test with different version of CINEMA 4D.

This is a big dissapointment. It doesn’t even open in my rel 10.5 version of Cinema4d – the only one I have.
Such a shame! I was really looking forward to trying this.

  Hi,
  Go in Render Settings or simply (press Ctrl+B) Click on the Effect… button and select Global Illumination.
  I trust this response has been helpful.

  Hi,
  To better understand how to set up your studio, please open the “Preview scene.c4d” file (included in this free pack) .
  also you need to enabling the Global Illumination option in the Render Settings.

HI,

How install on mac??

- Mustapha FERSAOUI says:
  
  28 September 2016 at 18 h 17 min
  
  Hi,
  is the same as on Windows PC, just copy and paste the file “Studio Accessory.lib4d” into your Latest Cinema 4D install folder under library/browser…
  Example:
  /CINEMA 4D R17/library/browser/Studio Accessory.lib4d
  
  Note: In cases where the folder “browser” doesn’t exist, you just create a new folder under library folder and rename it “browser”
BYGA says:

28 September 2016 at 18 h 47 min

ok, thanks but not working good in C4d R17….maybe you have to update the tutorial and that great tools…
