The series "Professional architectural visualizations with Cinema 4D" guides the reader through the various steps of a visualization project, starting with the idea and planning, continuing with the 3D modeling of the scene elements, the material-, lighting- and render-setup, finishing with the rendering itself and the final post-production steps. All processes, techniques and methods are described and illustrated in a way that is comprehensible to beginners, giving the reader an overview of all steps necessary to create stunning architectural visualizations with Cinema 4D.

The first volume of the two-part series deals with questions of scene conceptualization as well as with the modeling process of the 3D objects of the "Urban Villa" scene. An insight into efficient scene management rounds off the range of topics covered in this volume.
