Setting up AOVs in Redshift - Cinema 4D Tutorial

In today's video, we're looking at how to set up AOVs and Customs AOVs in Redshift. This gives you great flexibility when it comes to post-production by allowing you to dial in different areas of your renders.

You have the highest signal to noise ratio walkthroughs of cinema 4d and redshift knowledge. very preactical, very lucid. I am glad to have come across your channel and gained so many insights and confirmed some of my own understandings too. Keep making, sharing and growing Ross!

[@MonicaChen-b7m]

Ross, your explanation is very clear and easy to understand, I finally understand how to use AOV, thank you very much.

[@David-df4vt]

Awesome tutorial! I wish Redshift would hurry up and give us AOVs for Post FX! Cmon Maxon give the people what they want

[@Gasconauxolives]

Thank you Ross for the interesting topics of your tuts. Your emphasis on type and designed elements is great in both Ae and C4D. THX!

[@andersutterstrom6089]

An excellent video about AOVs. Thanks! I've been holding off learning about AOVs. But, you made think that I can handle it.

[@huslweet]

Thanks for helping demystify these! Could you also talk through the steps for how to render these aov's out? Do you use a multipass? Also, don't know if it would be too complicated, but it would be amazing to see a brief glimpse at how you use these in post production. Thank you again, absolutely love your work and can't wait to see your next video come out.

[@iamrossmason]

Yeah I forgot to mention about exporting, my bad! I'm going to do a follow-up tutorial about how to export these and use them in post-production, but all you need to do is enable the 'Multi-Pass Image' in the render settings and set the appropriate file type. Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

[@coleorloff]

@@iamrossmason Exactly what I was gonna request. Understanding the AOV post workflow would be amazing. Thanks dude!

[@StepanHKA]

ooooooh

[@nscent2407]

thanks for the tutorial, this is exactly what I'm searching for

[@benjaminallison4644]

This is the exact video I needed. Killer stuff mate. 🍻

[@pavellebedev2587]

Thanks bro, I appreciate what you're doing.

'Siri I'm not talking to you broo' Love it!

[@jonathanlavanant]

Thanks Ross, great tutorial as always 🙏🙏

[@luishoyosco]

always great quality master!

[@1augh0utL0UD]

What's the best method to do a simple label wrap like that? I tried following your label tutorial, using loop selection > sub-divide > Connect object & delete > 0.02 cloth ect, but the UV Texture squares come out warped still :( I've been stuck on the 10 minute mark of your tutorial for days haha. Absolutely love your videos dude - I'm new to C4D and these vids are helping me out so much.

[@CelestialMindsMedia]

I have a situation here , my materials are stacked two or more materials , so AOV won't work with stacked material ? so far i have failed in trying. Any help

[@JanneWolterbeek]

Superuseful, thanks!! ❤

[@intertel_agent]

amazing video, thanks so much m8

[@joshingleby9956]

Any chance you could share render settings? I've followed everything and saving to EXR, Tiff, or PSD but once opening in PS everything looks ugly and multipass doesn't add up as it does in yours. Only the Beauty render looks correct.

[@ddscout23]

Great video. Is it necessary to render out all of the various aspects of your render when using AOV's - reflection, diffuse, refraction, etc.? Or can you just do a beauty and reflection pass for example if reflection is all you want to alter?

[@mickymehta4545]

How to take puzzleMatte if you have one combined mesh including different parts ?

[@jfranciscodominguez9650]

Muchas gracias me ayudan mucho tus videos, saludos..

[@juancarlosmadrigal21]

[@Jos3CG]

Great video Ross, thanks for the content! I have a question about color management, do you usually work in ACES? Or do you use linear workflow? Thanks!!

[@iamrossmason]

Hey Jose, thank you for the kind words! I'm all in ACES nowadays :)

[@Akensagen_3D]

HI Ross! What is the difference between cryptomatte and puzzle matte? As for me cryptomatte is more convenient to use, so as not to assign an id to each object and not to get confused in large scenes.

[@christopherlopez2729]

puzzlemate uses RGB channels to store mattes. In the old days before cryptomattes and AOVs you had to render the passes separately as individual sequences manually. Puzzle mattes were convenient ways to store 3 passes inside one file. since they are basically 3 black and white channels. The best use of puzzle matte is you make a proper matte through transparency with refractions. Cryptomattes cant hold that information. this is a key thing to remember about puzzlemattes.

[@dhagaa]

Thank you so much

[@林鹏-y2n]

I really like your tutorial. Can you explain the real plastic material next time?

[@andrearusky]

I didn't play with custom masks much but I think the Puzzle Matte is the old way to create masks. A more powerful way is Cryptomatte pass. It's one pass with all your masks. Cheers

[@iamrossmason]

I slipped up and forgot to mention Cryptomattes, thank you for the comment! I’ll make another tutorial on this 🙌🏼

[@j.ssuarez]

Cryptomattes is a great way to grab a mask for every object in your scene, but puzzlemattes have the ability to reflect/refract. So I wouldn't day it's the old way, it's just a different approach with different options. For example if you have an object that reflects on a surface, with puzzlemattes you can also get a mask for that reflection which means if you adjust in post you will adjust both the object and it's reflection

[@arseniyzibarev8788]

Thanks bross!

[@amballov]

thanks, dude!)

[@StepanHKA]

Hi Ross, maybe stupid question/ Does amount of AOV's increase the render time?

[@antronero5970]

Would be nice to know

[@Contactbps]

understood nothing, but thank you.
