See Through Walls in Cinema 4D Tutorial

- Some times you want to be able to see through a ceiling, floor, or wall but still have the wall bounce light back into the scene. In this Cinema 4D tutorial I show how to set this up by using the "front/back" attribute of the Material tag.
UPDATE
It turns out, that having one side invisible will still allow light to pass through it, SO you need to block the light with a solid. BUT you will still be able to see through the wall and have the "solid" side bounce light.

Thanks so much, dude! I was trying to make an infinity mirror cabinet and couldn't figure out how to make a one way mirror. This did the trick!
Thank you, Matt!
I prefer to load black color into the Alpha channel instead of Transparency. You don’t get ghosting effect which makes the viewport cleaner. Also I think it might be a little faster at render time because it’s not calculating refractions and other parameters related to transparency. Cheers!
Thank YOU!!! very useful
Thanks
I was just trying out your tutorial and, because it didn't work for me, rewatched your video. And I now realized that it's not working for you either?
Compare your shadow in the upper left ceiling corner when rendering without the ceiling with the shadow when rendering from the top down with the transparent ceiling. It's identical and doesn't look like the shadow from inside with a solid ceiling. You can even see the edge/corner of the wall being shadowed. I guess the solution would be something with a render tag, but I'm trying to figure that out now.
this is what I also realized so this tutorial is actually non sense but it's still interesting to think about that issue
I'm in the same road here... I want the wall (or ceiling) to be transparent in the render BUT to block the outside light... if you found a solution please do tell... Thanks!
Can you do this same tutorial for redshift please?
this is good! was doing all my renders with no roofs and not realizing I was missing out on my light bouncing :D
some times you can add ambient/sky light to add some subtle top light back in, but using a real ceiling if your set has a ceiling is more realistic for sure
Cinematography Design yet that's true theme for hanging out these quick tutorials! Love it
very useful, thanks for sharing^^. btw, how can i not render the framelight in camera? I added a compositing tag and not seen by camera but it didn't work.
how do you make a good looking laminated floor? ive been editing my project since 9 am this morning and creating a scene for a little skit for my youtube channel but i want to make my floor look good, also i want to know how to make a good looking wall texture most my stuff in my room design is black and white so id like a dark wood floor but idk about the walls maybe grey> like dark grey?
Does this work with physical sky as well? because it seems to be casting shadows on the plane where I wanted to block the light coming in from a building. I've postioned it that way so the camera fits in, I could make the room bigger to allow the camera to fit but i would like to know what im doing wrong :(
also you should get this channel up annd running again, you've got great content!
how do I get the skylight to go through my ceiling? when I render my project with the ceiling its blocking the light and its causing the scene to be dark.
After comparing the two images, It doesn't seem to work even in your video. There is clear light coming in from the top illuminating the far top left corner. In the visible ceiling case, the light is correctly blocked.
Cal tech did this to my tinybstudio apt. Walls up. Very little sound. Bass upblocks outsound. Then its off and thoughts of myvear hair growing
Could you please make a tutorial on how to 3D scan yourself without using any fancy equipment ?
I'm making a video on how I 3D scanned myself but it was with 94 DSLRs and some very fancy equipment
