Hello all!

So I am trying to get some nice studio lighting, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for me how to do so or if these is a nice inexpensive kit to use. I think Greyscalegorilla's light kit is really nice but I'm looking for something for Cinema 4D + Octane. If no kits are available, a reliable tutorial is always welcomed.

Also, has anyone ever worked with macro textures, specifically macro fruit? I was trying to use the orange texture in LiveDB but it wasn't working at all, I'm not sure why (?)

Usually I'm pretty deft at figuring out textures, however a bit more amateur with lighting. If anyone could help me that would be wonderful, thank you very much!

I'm shocked that Greyscalegorilla's Light Kit is not Octane compatible... Have you looked into HDR Light Studio? It plays nicely with Octane, but is kinda pricey.

Yeahhh it's too pricey. I have been using 4DM's kit which isn't so bad.
