  • Make objects invisible to sky light

    Posted by Thomas Hendrikson on July 14, 2016 at 11:50 am

    Hi there,
    For a scene that I’m creating in C4d I’ve used a physical sky (client likes the looks of it/colors), however in the scene there is also video footage (with an alpha layer on a plane) but those come out super light as the sunlight is very strong. Is there a way to not have the sky/sun light affect this footage? Similar to how in single lights certain objects can be ‘excluded’ under the project tab.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best,
    Thom

    you might be able to use a Custom Sun Object and control includes and excludes with that but perhaps it’s as easy as getting rid of the specular (Reflectance) in your material with the video footage
