[C4D] I need help! / Pure White Background with Shadows
« on: 2025-07-25, 21:59:37 »
Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up a scene that will produce an image with a solid white (255) background while retaining shadows. I need this to animate and be repeatable with minimal post-processing so it has to happen in the render ideally.

This article seems to work well with colors in the background, but produces a grey background instead of white:

Other tutorials online use a default c4d sky to achieve a pure white but Maxon seems to have changed the behavior of the sky so it no longer works. I see some discussion on the 3dsMax side where it seems possible, but I cannot get it working in c4d. Is there any solution to this?
