Hi ssjenforcer,many thanks for your reply!
I try to reply for everything:

So you've set centileo as your render engine in the render settings? |
yes

one thing you should do is make sure it is set for your node editor as well |
how? never use nodes in cinema 4D. But I use Davinci Resolve for work, so I have some feelings about nodes and their links

You can probably take that down to 8 if your render time is too long. |
wonderful!
For the lights part, I will try to use the Centileo one

you must also use centileo materials only |
all right

Have you used the IPR to get interactive feedback for your render of your scene? |
yes, and of course without the basics information, the final image results very dark, but I read and understand on the online manual all the icon settings of the IPR section

If you still have trouble I could try to put a quick video together tonight and show some basics of using centileo. |
It would be awesome to have a basic tutorial covering all the basics and how to approach a new project.
I suppose that I have to use a Centileo camera, right?
Regarding my little project, I attach below a static image of the final render of the animation for better knowledge:
as you can see I have a model of a boat going over a turbulent sea, an emitter of particles behind the boat and a emitter of smoke on top of the boat, made with pyrocluster material.A floor object under the sea and boat. The sea is a glass material, for x-rays views of the rocks underwater. Rest of the materials are very basic
There is a physical sky and his sun for lights, and of course in the standard render settings the GI and AO.
First impressions with Centileo:
- I add a Centileo material to the floor object but in the IPR nothing shows up. If I add a plane object with Centileo material, I can see in the IPR the plane.
- The smoke emitter with the pyrocluster material (and I think I had and environment object linked to it) is supported by Centileo?
- In the render settings of Centileo if I add from effects panel ---> global illumination or Ambient occlusion or any other effects, nothing change from IPR panel. Why?
It's so shocking to me!
thanks!
