less poly's, or rather, dont just group it all up into few objects, nulls are very useful
actual materials would work a lot better, as your materials a re a "bit" lacking in detail when rendered in higher resolutions...
Caustics are epic-useless. (and rather fiddly to even get to work at that)
errm, under the illumination tab you can change the shading mode between phong, blinn and oren-nayar. they can also make simulating certain materials easier.
urk. hm. ah, yes, maybe try using splines and nurbs objects for modelling too? Also, primitives are sometimes better for some simple objects.
when using transparencies, avoid too thick "glass" objects, and minimize intersections with surrounding geometry as much as possible. This doesnt matter as much when just doing non-GI renders, but when doing GI renders transparent geometries intersecting stuff tend to utterly kill render time.
i'll have more soon, or per request, after working with c4d for almost 5 years now, i know a few quirks, tho mostly related to the interface/modelling side.
am i helpful or just a damn annoyance?

thank you very much for explaining all of that to me

np 
(as a side note i just remembered, ambient occlusion isnt too useful when GI is already enabled, and it *really* doesnt need 100% accuracy...)

if you have the time i would love to see a render and the project settings of how you would personally do this

i'm actually doing the whole thing atm.
is gonna take a while till i'm happy with it tho. maybe i might finish it some time on the morrow. sleepy time now XD
as for re-rendering yours, i might do just that soon-ish, but its still gonna be up tomorrow. GI are slow.

that will be interesting to see . you haven't modeled anything in half a year , since i began , so i'm glad i could be of some influence to bring you back into it . i can't wait to see your project and render settings

you might think i havent done anything, but i was busy with getting some other stuff done. [link]
Most of my time is focused on developing that, and in recent times i only opened c4d for some animation tests and converting models for that game.

did you make the models on that page ? it looks like you're getting a lot better at it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not really. all the models that are in the screenshots are from HW2, i just converted them, and they're placeholders so we can do playtesting and balancing.
for a model that i actually did, take a look at this...
