Three-tone colour
Hi all,
I’m trying to recreate an effect I saw GKaster pull off with amazing results. If you haven’t seen / heard of GKaster you’re in for a treat! :)What he does with light (as well as everything else!) is amazing…..
At exactly 1 minute on this video, he uses some sort of shader to create a three tone colour effect on some transparent shapes.
I’m sure there’s an awful lot going on here in terms of the colour and shading. Being fairly new to 3D, I’ve tried something myself, see below. I just used any old image of the sky for the sky object material.
I’ve just used various shaders in the color channel.However, I can’t seem to get a three colour thing going on. Is this an expresso thing, whereby the colour is mapped in terms of where the camera is in relation to the object?! No idea!…….
Would be great to have some more ideas and feedback as to exactly how this is achieved….
many thanks…

Sub surface scattering with a high choke?
Pariah Rob has a tutorial for that.It is so quick it is difficult to even see what is going on.
I love gcaster, but I get so depressed after watching his stuff.

Yeah, I hear you mate! 🙂
But he looks at least in mid forties, so the guy has been doing it a while. Check out the interview with him on motionworks.com.au Also, it’s just nice to grab ideas from him, even if it’s something small. Baby steps!….. 🙂 I’m more sick of seeing sphere’s all over the place. That depresses me more than anything!
When you see something unique and ethereal that’s been made with that programme, it gives me a little hope that you can create some really wonderful stuff with C4D that looks really organic.
Thanks for the info……will definitely check that one out at Pariah….
take care David……

Wait, so motion graphics isn’t falling spheres and softboxes?

Yeah, in part it is. But it’s nice to see someone create whole worlds with 3D. I find a lot of 3D quite cold and devoid of any personal / organic feel.
Do you know what I mean? I’m not saying if you use primitives in your work, you’re rubbish. I’m miles away from producing anything remotely organic in my 3D work. It’s just nice to see someone who uses 3D in such a beautiful, inspirational way.

I was totally agreeing with you. I guess my sarcasm didn’t come through.

oh right……HA! 🙂
As he’s a fan, I’ve emailed John Dickinson about this one. Will share if he sheds any light on it……
