Snow covered peaks are a great exercise in fractals and shading. It can be pretty simple to throw down a landscape object in cinema 4D and fiddle with the settings to get a mountainous looking shape — But what about the rest of it? How do you follow through and create a nice render of snow covered mountains?
C4D Artist Niko Schatz looks at some of the possibilities when creating a mountain landscape render. Niko runs through using the Height Map and also covers a bit on setting up the scene with shading and rendering.
A similar tutorial by Vinhson Nguyen showed how to take the process a little further, creating a titles scene with the mountain peaks, with come nice tips for compositing in After Effects.
