  Light emitting material through glass?

  Posted by Ryan Perera on July 24, 2010 at 8:19 pm

  I’ll be honest, I’m still learning my way through C4D mainly to improve my motion graphics skills. I decided to take a snap at modeling this week and ran into a slight problem that I hope you can help me with.

  My Reference (Helmet on the Right): https://s8.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/417530A4.jpg

  My Outcome so far: https://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5926/screenshot20100724at411.png

  Now I’m wondering how I could light the inside of the helmet like it is done in the reference image. What would be the most effective way to do this?

  Thanks in advance for you time,
  Ryan

  Try going into your Transparency channel and selecting Absorption Color and try different colors, also play around with the refraction and the Fresnel Reflectivity and in your color channel knock in up over a hundred. Hope this helps
