[@frigbychilwether]

Hi, nice quick tutorial which shows the important stuff in a clear concise manner. One minor thing though, technically you have 97 frames 0-96, always struck me as odd that cinema begins at frame 0 rather than 1(I can sort of understand logic based on timecode but it sometimes means having to think about the project length - admittedly not a complicated thing to do)

[@CGShortcuts]

Good point;)

[@ItsJessEdits]

if anyone else has issues looping (i couldn't get mine to loop for some reason when i put in 4 for loop period), I changed my total frames to 95 instead of 96, and i had a loop period of 4.02 that seemed to work out for me.

[@CGShortcuts]

Thanks for the heads up;)

[@plvg_design]

if your using an octane shader, you need to go to octane settings > settings > C4D shaders > uncheck box "use OSL for C4Dnoise..." It will not loop unless this box is unchecked. Also you cant drag the texture tag like in the tutorial, you have to use the custom shade option in displacer shading field, and copy/paste your noise from your octane material

[@plvg_design]

I also had to add an octane object tag on my plane to get the UV (2D) space to work

[@CGShortcuts]

Cant remember what I did to get it to render in Octane, should be in the project file though

[@BoStanfordify]

Hi! I bought the octane version but the color noise doesn´'t match the displacement after frame 1. I didnt touch the project yet, jsut opened it!

[@BoStanfordify]

Nevermind it animates in picture viewer but not in live viewer

[@CGShortcuts]

No worries, all good?

[@alegarny]

Hi! Can you please tell how to create a similar pettern using a redshift noise if you are familiar with it?

[@CGShortcuts]

Can you not use the standard noise in Redshift?

[@edrevvvv]

So funny seeing everyone celebrating when you literally try this and doesnt loop at all...what a tutorial

[@CGShortcuts]

It worked 4 years ago when we put the video up, maybe it just needs a tweak to get it to work in newer versions of C4D - things change

[@edrevvvv]

not working in r21@@CGShortcuts

@@edrevvvv Try downloading the project file to see where you went wrong, I just opened it up in R 2024 and it works fine so it should work in r21

Great tutorial! Hey my animation runs very slow after placing the colouriser gradient. Is that due to my slow laptop?

just learning this stuff at 53 ( brain isnt what it used to be ) excellent tutorial , easy to follow for newbs .. so that Octane render , you have to pay for it or what ?

[@CGShortcuts]

Hey Peter, never too late to get started! Yes octane is a plugin, you can get it from OTOY. We also have comprehensive training for it on our website if you decide to go that way. All the best with your learning

In case of a noise that has no loop period available, like the electric noise for example, how can I loop it? It's not possible or it has a way? Thanks a lot!

[@studiooff2946]

hey Dave, do you think there is a way to make this work in reverse order as well? I made a noise shader in the displacement channel in my material and I want to use that shader to control the color shader. its kinda the opposite of what you did here. Please let me know if you think there is a way to do this, i can't figure it out. Thanks!

[@CGShortcuts]

Quite possibly, it will depend on which renderer your using, I went this way so it works in Octane

[@beverlymarsh4963]

what kind of material did you use for this?

[@CGShortcuts]

Hi Beverly, I rendered this with the Octane Universal material with a hint of Metallic, you can get the render ready project file from our patreon page if you need it;) www.patreon.com/posts/28855088

You can use any renderer, but you cant render Octane Materials and Lights without Octane
