Right now rendering one still image works, but when it comes to render a full video it gets really complicated...

Hello :) thanks for this video i m getting back at it from time to time. One quick q: Setting absorption to pure white and have invert on, is like having absortion with float 0 (if invert is off)? thanks
@EpicJCreations6 жыл бұрын
Hello :D! Thank you for the comment! Yep! If you leave invert absorption checked on and have a pure white texture in your absorption slot, it will look just the same as if you had a pure black texture in and had invert absorption checked off :). The reason invert absorption is there, is to accommodate for artists different workflows :). For most users though, you will normally want it to check on or invert absorption.

This tutorial is superb! I has been looking for something like this since I watched the intro titles of "The Man in The High Castle" and got obsessed with the projector effect. On a different note, I found that when you select a video as the texture instead of a static image, the projection is completely white. Any way you think this can be solved? Thanks a lot!
@EpicJCreations7 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I'm so very glad you found my tutorial helpful! Strange as it is, I literally just figured out how to use an animation as a texture just a few minutes before I saw this comment. All you have to do is open up the image texture node, in the light that you're using, and then while you're inside that image texture, you simply click the three dots that let you select the image you would like to load. What you do, is select the first image in the in the image sequence, and then under the animation tab in that same property location, set your frame rate, start frame, and your end frame. It's important for me to note: you cannot load videos into the image texture, it can only take images, and image sequences. So if you have a video you want to use, you might have to load it into After Effects, and then export it out as image sequences. At this time I'm not sure what image files are supported, except for PSD files, as they are the only ones I've tried at the moment :). I hope this helps, and let me know if you need any more info :)!
@tiorimas7 жыл бұрын

@EpicJCreations6 жыл бұрын
Best way to animate caustics would be to create a deformed mesh that was animated, this will animate the caustics. you could also create a light that has its light emission based off of a texture, and set the texture as an animation. This would be less realistic but render faster. As far as rendering animated God rays, I would use an Octane Fog environment and set its volume to be changed by a Noise, and animate that noise. Let me know if you have any questions :). Also, if your interested in more Octane Render in C4D training, check out my Octane Master Course. store.epicjcreations.com/octane-master-course

Hello :)! Not to worry, this can be fixed. The reason it's so bright with ambient light, is the latest version of octane changed the default lighting mode for its scene. you can easily fix this by adding an HDRI or texture environment object and loading an RGB spectrum into it. Set the RGB spectrum color to black, and your good to go.
