Create Procedural Cloudy Skies ☁ VDB Cloud Generator ☁ C4D 2023 + Redshift Project Download

Effectatron - Cinema 4D and Redshift Training
In today's C4D 2023 tutorial we use the volume builder and shader fields to create procedural realistic clouds. Literally infinite possibilities. Then we use Redshift to add an RS Volume material on there so it looks amazing and also light and render it out. But we also learn how to make a VDB and import VDBs. It's a lot of good stuff, thanks for watchin'!

[@secret_things7944]

this is amazing and just further cements why c4d is just so amazing THANK YOU for sharing this tutorial

[@briana4548]

I've never commented on a youtube video but thank you so much for creating such an awesome tutorial. You went straight to the point and not too slow / not too fast. I learned so much, thank you!

[@effectatron]

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

[@MTOcreations]

Lmao. The ode to Andrew Kramer though 😂 Nice tutorial bro thanks

[@JulianZett3D]

thats another great one. I was thinking about a setup like that since corona renderer introduced a parametric cloud setup inside their physical sky. Hope redshift will implement that, too!

[@6zoin9]

Best from the best, Thanks for this awesome tut Derek! 🦍🔥

[@SpaceshipYamato]

This is a great tutorial. It's a very flexible and fun way to generate clouds.

[@polystormstudio]

I've been looking for a way to create clouds since the volume builder first came out. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing techniques!

[@effectatron]

Glad I could help! Thanks!

[@GoliZeka]

Hey man, nice tut. I came up with sth similar myself but I used the pyro on top of it to make clouds interactive with objects around, which adds a new layer of fun. Anyways, great content on your channel, you have that one 'bell on' sub more!

[@effectatron]

Very cool!

[@Gabu-San]

Thanks man! That was awesome! I been looking for something like this. Can you maybe do a tutorial on Realflow to actually to get it to look like and ocean instead of glob? Most tuts always end up with a glob like substance instead of water. Thank you in advance. I subbed to.

[@Lesak2]

Very good one! Thanks

[@effectatron]

Thank you!

[@TechnoNates]

absolutely brilliant! sub!

[@effectatron]

Thank you so much!

[@ryanhoog8678]

Thanks

[@effectatron]

Thank you so much!

[@machadoruipedro]

Very good tut, as always! any idea how to introduce fields to the equations and control scattering colors, for example?

[@effectatron]

I think it'd be possible, I show how to use fields for color control in this tut kzbin.info/www/bejne/o525pqGgaLuGedE

[@machadoruipedro]

@@effectatron unless im mistaken, the problem would be that in the volume shader its impossible to use anything other than the built-in ramps, you cant connect a color user data node...

[@mazewave4824]

Do you know why fog doens't work in the render view if you enable RT mode ? Great tutorial ty !

[@effectatron]

RT doesn't support Volumes yet i don't think.

[@user-bx5iz1kl7q]

Thanks for the tutorial. I bought the VDB pack. How do i stop the clouds flattening out at the top?They dont seem to fill the bounding box and look like they are squashed down at the top.

[@effectatron]

The attribute panel in the fields has a box size, that's the one u need to grow

[@michaeladlj]

Does anyone know how to animate these VDB's? I've tried to animate the noise but nothing happens in the viewport or render.

[@yanxir1674]

Really love this tutorial, but my customize vdb couldnt import in octance vdb. Is there anyone know who to fix it?

[@effectatron]

Not sure what you mean by octane vdb. a vdb file is separate from its render engine

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks, cool tutorial. Just SO slow to render. I'm on a 2020 iMac, fully loaded, which - I know - doesnt have the best GFX card, but I can't imagine it's all that quick even on a seriously specced up machine. (I realise that none of this is your problem, I'm just venting!)

[@effectatron]

Yea, you'd be surprised how exponential a better card can make it render. I don't have top of the line but the jump from my 1070 to my 3070ti was insane. If a render took 2 mIn with the 1070 it took about 20 seconds with the 3070 ti

[@DomBurgess]

@@effectatron Oh wow - that is quite a jump! Just wish Apple made non-extortionate machines that have better GPUs. Urghhh.

[@Ricky-nn2gx]

When I switch the volume type to "Fog" I don't get a point cloud like yours. What am I missing?

[@henkiepenkie3372]

Hey, i've got the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this?

[@greek-idevent9509]

When I put on the Second shader, it doesnt cut away like yours did. It just adds weird blue colors etc, but stays in the same shape

[@effectatron]

It's sounds like you're possibly doing it in the c4d volume object not the volume builder

[@henkiepenkie3372]

I have the same problem, do you ever found a fix for it?

[@funnygame636]

why my cloud is black？
