Fun with Fog Channel

[Soquili]

Playing around with the fog channel in the material editor of C4D.

that looks neat Bill

So is the fog a part of the enviro, and the cube and sphere are reflecting it?

[Soquili]

Hi Gidgit, the fog is only part of the cube material. No transparancy except for that the fog channel provides. Used the water shader in the bump channel. I thought it looked like a free standing cube of water on my LCD at home. This morning on the monitor at work, it looks more like an inflated plastic cube

Thats cool Bill


I used fog for my dust on the mech pic,which is wip again now

[gidgit]

Hi Bill, thanks for explaining that...water for thought

and yea, sure wish every thing was under one standard so that no matter what machine or monitor is used it all looks the same....

Hi Stu... sounds good

[Soquili]

Thanks Stu and Gidgit. Well, the image above was disappointing to say the least I decided to crank the temperature down and freeze the whole thing. Hope it turns out ok on more displays. I viewed it on my other PC which has a CRT and it looks good to me, but I'm biased

Please let me know how it looks on your hardware.

now that is looking very cool Bill... geez, now ya gotta turn this into an ice sculpture... time to get out the chainsaw and chisels

great fx Bill...

Yep a block of ice now Bill {how it looks to me}


The conbinations of the SLA shaders is just enormous,and when you add the volume shaders as well it just it gets crazy,and then theres the new layers addition as well.

Very cool experiment Bill! Love the look of the ice cube.

Thanks Gidgit, Stu, and Randy. Gidgit, I don't have a swan; so the knight from the chess set was the best 'sculpture' I could come up with quickly.
