Discover how to harness Cinema 4D and Redshift to craft mesmerizing visuals using the magic of Bokeh. In this tutorial, Brian MacMahon shows how to build simple geometric forms and use the camera’s optical panel to create ethereal fractal-style images—perfect for eye‑catching motion design projects.
- Build a simple shape structure and apply an incandescent material to create vibrant colors.
- Set up the camera and adjust the optical panel to generate your Bokeh.
- Experiment with Post FX and add clones to enrich the composition.
- Explore advanced Bokeh properties to mimic real camera lenses.
This technique lets you craft beautiful, ethereal imagery in motion design by simulating the way real camera lenses scatter light. With careful control over materials, cloning and the optical panel, you can turn simple shapes into luminous compositions that pulse with color and depth.
To see the full process in action—and to follow along with your own project—watch the embedded video below and explore the possibilities of Bokeh in Cinema 4D and Redshift.
