Thanks, Terry and Michael! This is very helpful. Also, I use C4D, so Red Giant might be the way to go for effects.

Thanks, Michael. I do get that the rim lights and SSS would be done in C4D, I guess it’s really the diffusion in post I’m wondering about, and if anybody knows of any good tutorials on ways to get that look.

Here are a few examples. Note that the highlights on the edges of the characters is slightly soft and diffuse. I can’t think of how I would do that in C4D, so I’m assuming it’s a post filter of some kind(?)

Update: I figured out a relatively simple solution: I used Group Object on each eye null inside the bone hierarchy and used Enable Axis to swing the Z axis around to point forward, and put a Target tag on each of the new nulls. Seems to work pretty well.

I should add the lights are rectangular area lights, in z-direction only

[Tim Vining]

Okay, thanks! I’ll look into it.

This video explains it. Good luck!

I don’t remember running it on that computer, since I have owned FCP for years, but I guess it’s possible. I will contact Apple Support like you suggest. Thanks!

Thanks, Brian! I think this really points me in the right direction. My first test looks better already.

PS: actually, that didn’t really look right, either, once I rendered it out. I’m stumped.

This is a link to the animation, if anybody can suggest anything.

Also, a screenshot of the file in C4D.

Thanks!
