Wow! You have a really unique POV and approach to C4D that is SO helpful. I love that you stay true to a more intuitive Art Direction driven approach, but still get through all of the technical details needed to make the shot work. Super cool and refreshing!

[@JO_Artificial]

We are having internet issues in East Africa at the moment but it has somehow helped me find this channel and it's my new favorite C4D channel.

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

Glad to hear😊u feel your pain with internet problems 😔❤️

[@diegolanda1983]

Thank you very much for the tutorial! At minute 36:12 it is not that the screen has moved a pixel back, but that having made the split, a copy of the geometry was generated, so there are 2 overlapping "screens". I always delete the original polygons immediately after making the split, as they are still selected. Cheers!

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

Aah! Great to know , thanks. Learning something new everyday 😁👍

[@FrankTank7777]

As always Elizabeth, mind blown. I love the colors you use and simplistic yet striking set design. It is not that I haven't seen a lot of what you have done in other tutorials, but the way you bring all the elements together into something practical and useful is inspiring. My mind is now thinking about what else one can do with a gobo. Maybe I am the only one that did not think of it, but instead of the caustics (which is so cool) one can do the same process to create the caustics but use plants moving in the wind. Just add to the story that we are trying to create here. Lastly I have to say my favorite quote was: "you can never have enough rainbows", cracked me up.

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

What a nice compliment, thanks for all the kind words. Yes plants are great, grayscale gorilla has a few cool ones and I believe they even animate 🙂

Awesome tuts. Keep 'em coming. 👍

[@vosko3d]

Cool tut, thx, btw you need to switch off a Screen Space Adaptive at the Tesselation section of Redshift Tag, that dramatically slows down a Redshift IPR because you do not use a Freez Tesselation Function and when you use a camera movement, that does not work well

[@orbionpulsar220]

quality content 🤯

[@ricardojaimes6604]

Thanks for all the tips. How would you add on any reflections over the screen? My guess would be through more AOV reflection passes and a reflective material. Or do you think there’s a better way?

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

To be honest, sometimes I just put fake ‘cheap’ reflection as a layer, use the same mask but put a picture of a window or trees or what ever you want to reflect (in After effects 3D space slightly closer to camera in z space ) and on ‘screen’ 20% opacity and blur it out. The expensive reflection would be to have an actual reflection pass rendered out, but then you have to place whatever you want to reflect very strategically in the right place in c4d.

[@ricardojaimes6604]

@@TheFriendsOfMotion Thank you so much for the response. That makes sense. I guess sometimes it makes sense to just stick with a less expensive method. I didn’t think about having to potentially model a detailed background. Again, thanks so much for posting all of this helpful information. I’ve only watched two tutorials but they’re very helpful in the way I think about approaching certain scenes.

[@alexauiux]

Is there a way to make screen reflection using puzzle matte?

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

You can add a reflection as a second render pass (just drag underneath puzzle map) in the aov manager - but then your material on the screen needs to be shiny (or have some reflection on it).

[@TheAptimn]

why is it that you can't use dome light at the same time with any other kinds of light? once you introduce any add the light to the seen the dome light turns off.

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

@@TheAptimn that is strange, that never happens to me , are you sure dome light is not at zero brightness? What version of c4d are u using?

[@TheAptimn]

@TheFriendsOfMotion actually, it does work but sort of decreases it's own impact on the objects in the scene (e.g the object suddenly becomes darker) whenever any additional light source is introduced. I found out that it's better to use sky+sun to ensure a more stable global illumination, that does not react to any additional light sources like that.

Really amazing Tutorial. I tried Corona, Octane but never tried Redshift in Corona, Octane you can set Sample value to increase render speed is there any similar option in Redshift? 44:03 wow that caustic effect look impressive

[@TheFriendsOfMotion]

Yes you can also change sample rate in redshift , try 0.1-0.3 , the lower it is the longer the render (kinda like the opposite of octane) - if you are out of advance setting just put it on ‘low’
