Hi Kouraib, thanks for replying. OK that makes sense, and the scene is a moving animation (the one I am actually using will be composited onto a mirrored table) so I need to find a way of capturing just the reflection. Thanks

Hi all

I have an issue I hope you can resolve. I have a scene (attached) that I need to render out ONLY the reflection of the tube in the glass table. So not the glass table, just the reflections in the glass table. I have tried AOV, redshift tags, a bunch of tutorials and searching here for something I can use.

I think redshift sees the whole…

Thanks Roland, will definitely look into that expression, much appreciated

Yeah I ended up getting a good result using null follow points, but thank you I will check out the scripts!

Hi, just wanted to pick the brains of the pro’s here about a workflow I am working on!
I need to recreate the start of this animation, essentially the kinetic boxes that move and grow, but somehow stick together. I have played around with Warp Mesh, and just keyframe animating, but wondering if there is a plugin/Effect I don’t know about that would…

Thanks Kouraib, nice vid!

Found the solution, I put the layers in a null, then dropped the deformer at the top!

Hi all, I am really stumped with a seemingly simple task.
I have a fracture object with a spline wrap around a circle, but for some reason it is not following the circle exactly. It’s sticking to it for about 80%, but the final part is skewing off.

I have messed with all the parameters but I cannot get the right result! Any ideas? Files…

Hi Kouraib, this is exactly what I needed, thank you!
Appreciate showing me the method too 🙂

Hi! I am trying to simulate a plant growing, and slowly breaking through soil.
I feel like a way to do it is with Vornoi Fracture, however custom gravity means the floor either sinks, or the fragments floats away.

I need the cylinder in the attached to slowly push through the floor and then the fragments just stay in place. Maybe VF is not…

Hi Kouraib, thanks for responding, much appreciated!
I will play around with material projections and see how I go, but your video was really helpful

Thanks

Hi all, I have an annoying issue with a sweep object, and a redshift gradient I have applied to it.
Essentially the caps of the sweep aren’t following the gradient as per the rest of the sweep (screenshot 1).

I tried putting this into a VOLUME builder, which kind of worked, but then I can’t get the gradient to display in the same way (see… Read more
