What if I managed to bake the GI? Then surely I could get by this thing more easily – no lights would be needed at all!

Hmmm, Brian, do you think this could work?

I’m a little unfamiliar with baking GI and would find it handy if you could show me how

Many thanks for the quick feedback!

NOTE:

I have tried using an area light aligned to the fibre-optic splines but the sample count max value of 1000 is too low.

That’s some great feedback

It’s interesting to know that edges and other variables come into the equation.

I’m only working with r13 at the moment… Do you mean to say that there are better motion vector pass plugins for C4D? If so what are they? So far I have only used the built in pass to be utilised in post by RSMB Motion Vector Pro in After Effects

I’m using 16bit PNG images for better motion vector depth, but 32bit PSD files take up too much space when arranges in an image sequence… (2000x2000px .PSD = approx 32Mb image file size)…

Is there another reliable codec / format that can save my motion vector passes in a more reliable format?

Cheers

Yes, Chris

That is what I want to do

Luckily my footage is primarily shot on 10mm & 15mm lenses so distortion will go largely unnoticed.

Babel3D’s online CAD converter. I have the original CAD file in .STP but could not get hold of a system with the right software to convert it to an OBJ with good geometry!

It would be incredibly helpful if I could get the file converted from .STP SAFELY haha

Here’s the SolidWorks file…

I would be so grateful if you could convert this for me, ready to animate

Thanks Brian

All sorted now!

Hi Brian

I’ve tried applying your laser to my robot and unfortunately I’m not getting the desired result

The Ray Collision in Xpresso is showing up in yellow if that helps? What does that mean?

The Robot is sat within a spherical environment. I need it’s beam to create an ’emitter’ upon collision with the sphere environment’s surface. However, instead of an actual shape for the emitter, I’d like an area light to be there, shining back at the laser source, seemingly illuminating the robot from the laser’s collision point.

I’ve positioned the laser in the place I want, but I just cant achieve the same effect you did!

Would love to see how you’d fix this

Here’s the project file

Cheers!

Absolutely perfect, Brian!

certainly impressive!

But the laser source needs to be the child of the laser projector which is on a moving robot arm.

At the moment the laser is at a fixed point.

The laser needs to be shining out of the projector on the robot arm, and the sphere needs to do what you have demonstrated here, but against whatever the robot arm pivots and aims towards.

Is that easily adjustable?

Thanks for your great effort!

Ah thanks Brian

It’d be great if you can show me an example

And yes, i do need seconds & frames! Cheers
