Thanks!

Thanks. Glad you learned something!

@@CGStirk I just sent you an email!

Thank you! Yes! If you can find the education for free, that often beats a university. Glad I could help.

The dust needs to interact with the environment and the ship, which is more difficult to fake. Also, the ship occludes the dust at the back. It's possible to render from Embergen and then comp back, but it's not what I wanted to do for this, especially that the point was really to show how to use render layers. I agree that it can be difficult to get the same look outside of Embergen, though.

@@CGStirk Thanks for the response! Do you know if there is a way to bring your animated objects and camera into Embergen and render an exr seq that occludes your object in the correct place? Almost like a render mask? In your example it would occlude the smoke behind the ship? Hope that makes sense!

@@sarulaplays6861 You can bring in a mesh in the newer versions of it. I would like to think you can make it a hold-out object, but I'm not sure.

@@sarulaplays6861 I am so sorry. I thought I had replied to this! So, yes you can bring in a model, at least in the more recent releases, and I would assume you can make it a hold-out object but I've not tried it!

Hmm, is your computer capable of running After Effects?

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad you learned some AE, and hopefully you can apply the concepts later down the road. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out here or via the contact info I send out on Canvas. Have a great summer!

You're welcome. You should check out the video on ACEScg in Maya since the workflow for this series is only for linear sRGB and is quite dated.

Yes, the beauty is most of these passes combined. AO is additional, in this case. However, you don't use the beauty with this compositing method, so you're not adding intensity to it, you're recreating it. Not sure what you mean by rendering without noise. If you mean denoising, then yes, but this tutorial doesn't go over it. Actually this whole series is pretty out-of-date. The materials aren't even PBR. For denoising in V-Ray, you enable the Denoiser AOV and then you need to enable denoising on each separate AOV.

@@CGStirk thanks for the quick response! I've been trying to figure out how to build a composite of a CGI screen from scratch in compositing vs starting with a beauty/combined pass at the bottom of the stack so I can have total control over each layer's influence. Feels like a powerful way to do it but I've only ever seen passes come out noisy even with noise pass driven denoisers built into modern render engines. The only time I've seen something close is in vfx breakdowns of blockbuster films but often they are still using common render engines like crazy and would like to know how that is achieved.

@@MHM4V3R1CK This is how you do it with V-Ray ruclips.net/video/9C-trY4RLBc/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=23485 For Arnold, I believe you do it with an Imager and there's a layer selection field for choosing the layers you want to denoise. What renderer are you using?

@@CGStirk Thank you for the info! I'm using Corona and vray depending on the job in 3ds max and for simpler product work I'm using blender and cycles.

@@MHM4V3R1CK I would imagine there's a way to do it in Corona and Cycles. I don't use that software though.

For anyone else reading this, the issue was the loading the volume from a cloud storage drive, which caused an issue with the path.

Mr. Roboto

Thanks!

If that's all you need, then just do that!

Not off hand, but you might see if there are any ThreeJS sliders on threejs.org/examples

Thanks!

As long as the fractal noise is added to a matte layer and not the text itself, you just change the text color or fill in the text layer.

Thanks for the suggestion. Google "color transforms" and you can find out more about what that effect is doing.

Yes. On the Dome Light, enable "Finite Dome". You can change the projection height there. If you can't go low enough, then click on the input connection of the Dome Tex to get to the "VRayPlaceEnvTex" node. Select "Use transform" and then just move the dome with the transform tools. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Arnold AOVs have different names, but it's essentially the same workflow. Same for the render layers. I believe Arnold has a shadow catcher material.

Awesome, I've cooked some of my best work for Pwnisher's Eternal Ascent challenge and would love to render it like a pro! I always render my entire scene as a single EXR sequence...... Noob moves.@@CGStirk

Nice haha. You should post your WIP on the Discord server. There are usually a few members that submit to the challenge too. @@renderpeach

Yep

Glad I could help

Thanks. I miss making them too.

I would check to make sure all the textures in the UDIM sequence are there. Also, UDIMs don't display in the viewport so check the render.

im getting the same error where it says that my UDIMS dont exist?

i tried switching the uv tiling method to UDIMs Mari and the tiles get detected

yo idk if youve figured it out yet, but switching the tiling to UDIMS did it for me

Glad y ou got it working@@zho07

It's on my patreon, which is free right now. www.patreon.com/cgstirk

Thank you!

This is old. I would recommend VEAI for faster and better upscaling.

​@@CGStirkwat is that ? I can't find it

Video Enhance AI is a standalone software@@diptipande5786

👍👍👍

Glad it helped!

I'm sure you will

I hope so!@@CGStirk

A coworker uses C4D, and we often discuss the similarities between Maya and C4D. Glad it helped!

@@CGStirk it feels kinda counter productive to go backwards so it’s cool they have a lot of similarities, so hopefully I can skip along if they are one in the same, and I know there are just as good renderers like octane and Arnold but just knowing redshift can carry over and uses the same nodes I believe is a big bonus too

Thank you very much for your model and for making it available to everyone!

👍👍

Thanks! You can still use the plugin, and the results should match exactly. Double-check that the comp itself is linearized. However, in the latest versions of AE, you can use their built-in OCIO. When you import the frames, right-click them and select Interpret Footage, then make sure they're set to ACEScg.

I'll take that as a compliment

You're welcome

Thanks. I'd like to do more in the future.

Does Primary Visibility in Render Stats not work?

I want to make the V Ray VolumeGrid invisible to camera so I can render the ground separately while maintaining the shadow of the volume @@CGStirk

@@glmstudioghFor that, I would use the V-Ray Mtl Wrapper. Make a new render layer, apply the wrapper to material override, and set the matte to -1 and turn on shadows. I also have a video on that in this series.

@@CGStirk oh ok. Thank you

​@@glmstudiogh No prob. If you need any help, just let me know.

Thanks!

Practice makes perfect haha

Thank you too

I don't think so if I remember correctly, but I haven't checked what the new release can do.

Thanks!

You can get the textures and the model from CGTrader via the link in the description.

@@CGStirk thanku

You might be able to parent the layers to a null layer and move over the null. Or, you could make the composition larger.

Thanks! For blending normal maps, you can either use a custom OSL node or you can stack multiple V-Ray Bump Mtls together.

@@CGStirk awesome. Thanks
