How to Use Layer Shader and Layer RGBA in Cinema 4D and Arnold (2021)

How to use the Layer Shader(Layer_Shader) and Layer RGBA (Layer_RGBA)? - Cinema 4D and Arnold(2021).
This is a beginner level tutorial using C4D and Arnold render. I will show you how to use layer shader to mix two standard surface nodes and how to use your own images or photos to make a more complex textures using the layer RGBA node.
0:00 - Intro
0:15 - How to use Arnold render layer shader for Cinema 4D to make your own textures.
1:41 - How does the layer shader work inside of Arnold Render and Cinema 4D.

YOU EXPLAIN BETTER THAN ANY OTHER C4D TUTS. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I HOPE YOU UPLOAD MORE. :)

[@3DDesigner_]

Bro thankyou , this is what I am searching for 10 years ..

[@mphillipsphotography7013]

Happy to help

[@lemuelcrash]

Thank you soooo much for this wonderful tourial after stressing hold day finally found a simple breakdown of what i wnated to do...... thank you so much

[@msganga1974]

In order to make simple what is potentially complicated you need to know deeply the argument and have the special skill to explain it well. You truly have both. Great Job!

[@mphillipsphotography7013]

Thank you, appreciate the kind words.

I've seen a lot of Arnold tutorials but its a shame I havent come across yours sooner. You start from the ground up of the lesson instead of immediately jumping into the most technical example of it, but when it does get more technical all the understanding comes so easy due to the extra step you take with showing the animations or other renders you've done off screen that illustrate the concept perfectly. You are doing things differently and it feels fresh and quite frankly it's the correct way to explain things for multiple kinds of learning styles.

[@mphillipsphotography7013]

Thank you, for the comments. I try to explain things as easy as possible without being overly complicated. I feel AutoDesk and other tutorials are overly technical and as an artist myself I just want to create and not hear all the overly complicated technical jargon, but glad this helps you and if you have any ideas for any other tutorials just drop in the comments. I am trying to upload new tutorials about once a month and I am still experimenting on the type of content my followers are wanting to see.

[@AaronSmith561]

@@mphillipsphotography7013 I'd say you've covered some important aspects of Arnold already and I trust will continue to pick those technical parts that deserve a better explanation. For me personally, I'd love to have your explanation of Volumes and VDB's for clouds or smoke. Or even some aspects that could be a bit lengthy like the Toon Shader or custom AOV's for compositing. Also I think everyone could benefit from learning the ACES workflow. Whatever you choose even if it's not those things I will watch it as long as it's Arnold. Thank you!

Beautifully done - no unnecessary umms, ahhhs or verbose commentary - love the sound effects too :) Please make more!

[@tarkanbegzadi]

Nice, clean, tuts. I would like to combine UV projected maps (texture A) with eg. cubic, flat or spherical (texture B) in order to work in cinema 4D, is there any solution? I guess something like to create UV map on object and set it to uv_transform - to uv projection field before standar surface texture shader and then combine via mix_shader.. but i just come up with this in my head right now.. so ..?

hi this is very helpful, but what if i want to put the 2 colors input on cloner objects, and showing 2 different colors on each cloner objects, instead of 2 colors on one single object? how should i do it?

[@mphillipsphotography7013]

"Color Jitter" node may help with adding color variation to cloners.

i have a question , i have used bunch of standard surface and plugged it into a layer shader. now i want to apply a bump map to all my shader, i don't want to individually plug by bump2d to each shader. so there there any other way i can do it? PLEASE HELP. looked on internet but i cant find anything
