need help with shine video wall
I have a problem with shine in my video wall (4 walls as you can see). Here’s a pic https://www.saunalahti.fi/inyman/shine.jpg
I use exactly the same settings what are in Jayse’s tutorial (he hasn’t change anything but “source point” to 240 and “transfer mode” to “add”: https://www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/shine/media/image030.jpg as you can see. This is what I want it to be like https://www.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/shine/media/image034.jpg
Please tell ALL settings that I have to change to get a shine like that (if Jayse forgot to say something in he’s tutorial). I’ve been trying to get a shine like that about 4 hours now and i’m really desperate 🙁
Do I have my comp’s right? I drag and drop my “comp 1” to “create a new composition” icon and then in timeline I add a shine effect to “comp 2”.

Aaarghhh! It won’t shine straight up even if I do backflips in my backyard! It just look like 2D bullshit 🙁

To get a shine pointing up in the frame, your source point should be low in the frame.
Is your boost light turned up?
Do you have a light source casting a glow in the center, before you apply shine? If you want shine in the middle of the image, your image should be brighter in the middle … if you’re basing your shine on “brightness”.
Let us know.

Yes theres some boost light.
I have one light center in my “box” so it lights all 5 walls and I have 5 shine’s, one for each wall. In that pic in first post i didn’t have that light yet.

Can you send your project to me at ads (at) reidroberts (dot) com?
(I wrote the address that way to avoid spambots)Don’t send footage, just the AEP file.

I’ve been able to make the shine (not shine 1 or 2) aim upwards by moving the source point down and out of the frame at (360,640). However, that means the effect is radiating from a point outside the frame. If you want that, great.
Keep in mind that Shine is a “flat” 2D effect: it only radiates outwards in all directions from its source point. It just sees flat video and radiates outward –it can’t see the third dimension. If you want the rays to start from the center of the floor plane and shoot up perpendicular to that plane, Shine can’t do that.
You might want to look into Lux, a product by Trapcode.
The most effective way to do this effect is with a real 3D app such as Max, Maya, Lightwave or Cinema4D. The effect is called “volumetric lighting”. At any rate, check out Lux.
Hope that helps,
Steve
