    Due to multiple requests over the last weeks in this weeks video we are going to look at part 1 of recreating "lasers" in Octane.
    We will be exploring how to generate cool laser effects in octane using light projections. As always the premise is very easy and done in a couple of minutes. But this channel would not be this channel if I would not dig a bit deeper what is going on behind the scenes!
    So I hope you enjoy and learn the one or other thing 🙌

    Bro you came at the best timing with this tutorial! I'm making a commercial that needs a laser effect I can't describe how perfect your timing

    • @SilverwingVFX
      @SilverwingVFX  Před 20 dny

      Ohhh super nice hearing that. Hopefully you can make a really nice laser show for your commercial project with this and next weeks video 🙌
      Though maybe I should have mentioned, although it theoretically works to have this show up in a volume, Octane had a big bottleneck when it comes to small bright light sources in volumes, so it will unfortunately render forever in a volume 😇

  • @JMach4217
    @JMach4217 Před 19 dny +1

    Another amazing tutorial. This now perfectly explains to me why Octane's process for Gobo lighting ALWAYS results in sharp shadows from that Gobo light source, due to the pinhole light effect.
    Do you know of another way to do efficient GOBO lighting, but still have the flexibility to control the softness of the shadows independently from the sharpness of the light that is casted? That would be an amazing tutorial :)

    • @SilverwingVFX
      @SilverwingVFX  Před 19 dny +1

      Thank you very much for your great comment.
      I have not thought about gobos, but you are totally right. The only way I can think of getting there is to decouple the gobos from the light and have them on a plane with opacity in front of the light. So the light can be softer and depending on the distance of the gobos, the shadow of those can be shaper.
      I think there might be a trick and even another tutorial in there. Eventually trying to give gobo texture a virtual depth, not behind the light, but in front of the light.... I's certainly an interesting thought!

  • @yungbuttermilch
    @yungbuttermilch Před 20 dny +1

    Großartig, danke! In English, so everyone can profit: Unrelated question: How do you get your default light so small? 2x2 m is for most of my scenes a bit overkill.

    • @SilverwingVFX
      @SilverwingVFX  Před 20 dny +1

      Thank you very much.
      Also in English so must people can profit! Also I totally agree, for the scenes that I usually work with, all the scenes being larger then 1 Meter is overkill!
      I think the smaller sizes are a side effect of having set the default scene to be interpreted in millimeters.
      Though in newer C4D versions you can also click on the upper right corner of the attribute manager and create presets for the currently selected object. This includes creating a new "master defaults" when creating the object (I think there is a checkbox in the settings with "save as default" or something along those lines).
      I did that for some other default objects to make them fit my needs better.
