  • add 2D fog to a 3D anim with moving cam

    Hi,

    I know there are many posts in this forum concerning fog but I can’t find a solution for my problem 🙁

    I made an animation in Cinema 4D. The Camera is moving in all directions. Now I want to add some fog to this animation. I tried several things:

    in C4D:

    the only way to create the fog directly in C4D without waiting endlessly for the rendering is to use visible lights but I couldn’t get results that were quite convincing.

    in AE:

    Now I tried to add the fog in AE. I used the “fog factory” from “Digieffects Delirium” and that looks brilliant for me 🙂 The problem is the moving camera. When the camera is pointing to the left and moving forward in the rendering of my 3D-anim then the 2D-fog should behave accordingly. Of course I can do it by hand: when I scrub forward in the anim and see the cam is changing the position, I change the offset settings in the “fog factory” effect. When the cam is moving forward I change the size of the fog. Is there any way to do this automatically via some expression ?

    I’m sure it could be done, but I don’t know that particular effect. If I get around to downloading it, I might take a look at it and have something (no promises, though, as I often forget).

    I’m sorry, but the demo version of the Delerium suite only shows me DE_Glower and DE_Fireworks. Can’t help you then. :-[
