Overview of Cinema 4D

Cinema 4D provides us with a graphical means of setting up scenes. For many of our experiments and analyses a simple scene that is roughly sketched out is a great start. We can then edit in the specific properties (surface reflectances, light spectral power distributions) using ISET3d. Cinema 4D has an exporter that lets us sketch out a scene and then export it into PBRT format that we can parse.

Simulating the Cornell Box

The Cornell Box experimental work is one of the first applications using Cinema 4D.

Creating a scene

Setting up the scene environment.

Geometry

Placing the shapes in the scene

Materials

Choosing the materials and textures.

Lighting

Let there be light.

Building the Cornell box

Krithin will add how he built a real Cornell Box whose parameters matched the simulations. PBRT!
