Yep UE5 is amazing but its not a path tracer which looks more realistic and less artefacts. Only a few more years to wait

Thank you for your kind words. I remember starting on a laptop 14-16 years ago with 1GB Ram and no GPU. Have to start somewhere :) and so glad it’s helped :)

Much appreciated!

You're welcome!

wow I really appreciate your work and my brain. man I will make a video and let you know what I am about to do with this idea

Aww thanks - yeah there a lot of ways to be fair. If I was in a rush I’d render them separately and add in AE or render region after the main animations done

I did it with a tube, and an animated Noise texture along with the opacity gradient too. As I am currently building a scene and needed a quicker way. But this is a good tut.

@@davehedgehog9795 same that is the idea i got out of it

@@davehedgehog9795 this is my test result kzbin.info/www/bejne/epLCoJRrjLt1fdU it saves a lot of render time. and I can improve

Shhhh I won’t tell anyone 😂

Thank you :) - might do an additional video on this. We would only want to show the use of reflections and shadows as once you bake the person in it’s a bit harder to tweak colours of keyed footage, but yes that will be a cool thing too show.

I know you can on octane, haven’t used redshift for about two years now. Should be able too as it’s a better renderer for production

No problem- happy to help!

Watch a bit later :)

We do not own the plugin so we can’t sorry :(

No probs :)

10mins now 10seconds :)

Do you mean 256x256 style textures? For Minecraft or 3d projects?

@@VFXHut normal Minecraft texture, with baked ao on cinema 4d ( I don't have cinema4d)

You can actually manually put the Color and AO maps together manually using photoshop, krita or gimp. All you do is add ao map on top then blend using multiply. Use the opacity slider to pick desired amount. If the files are too big then you could change resolution too ready for Minecraft.

Unfortunately we won’t ever be making textures or texture packs specifically for modding games, just because it might confuse customers. Although a Minecraft style texture is a good idea.

@@VFXHut oh mann

No problem - this comment is also a great knowledge share - so thank you 🤩

No problem at all :)

Please share a better method if you have one to help anyone watching and reading comments :)

You create masks if same object, but you can import multiple models and switch them on and off. You do have to be careful when baking maps as occlusion of objects will cause weirdness on AO, and curvature. That’s a great suggestion thank you and until I create a new video, I usually export png /exr as it’s more reliable for current workflow using octane.

Haha it’s a useful tag with lots of great uses, im excited to try it out with the pyro :)

No problem

Hi there without seeing your scene it probably could be. A few things the most general one I’m thinking is scale. Could your scene be too big or too small. Or is the simulation too big or small? Just ensure the values are not too high if your scene is smaller :)

I believe it is using the c4d colour/diffuse channel. It’s been such a long time - I did manage it for one project. I might add to list of tutorials if I can re-work it out.

Hey sorry for delay :) - if it’s part of the material I’m not sure. As last time I checked there’s no dynamics attached to material/shaded settings itself. You could try creating your own hair using splines / scattering that way you would have direct control of every hair. But it wouldn’t be a fun setup. Otherwise it’s tedious back and forth from viewport to render. Sorry I couldn’t be of any more help :)

No probs! :)

This video is only about showing using LUTs :)

You are very welcome! :)

Because it’s based on luma keying not currently unless adobe update there toolset. Thanks for checking it out :). We could definitely research some other ways to see if it’s possible. Thanks again :)

Thank you and Glad it’s helped 🎉

No probs :)

Yeah it’s always been a clunky tool. What version of cinema you on? Dynamics have changed a lot in recent versions but haven’t played with hair since R23

@@VFXHut lol I'm still using R21. I discovered collisions since i made that comment which stops hair going inside. It's still very difficult to get into a particular style though as far as long hair goes. Trying to figure out partings as well at the moment

do people even use octane render anymore I thought everything is now realtime in ue5 ?

Probably best to forward to Cinema4d / blender support :)

Not sure what’s happening for you but creating a reference object to the scale of your scene could be a massive help. Like a box between 150-200cm high gives you idea based on a person. If you’re talking about the actual objects your particles are emoting Then shrinking the model used can help with this :)

Thank you for your kind words - much appreciated :)

No worries at all :)

What’s your problem with VDB files :)

@@VFXHut I tried a lot of things, but not all of them work, but they used to in the past, I wonder what's the problem with those files. The explotions and thrusters work as an example.

@@TRIANGULARBOY Are you a member of the site? - if so thank you and welcome aboard. If there’s any in particular VDB please feel free to drop us a message either on here or via the form online. Generally speaking if nothing seems to be working it could be down to Software miss-communicating, VRAM limit or a faulty volume file. There shouldn’t be any faulty volumes on our website however one could always slip the net so please do let us know and we can double check it for you :)

No problem at all happy it’s helped :)
