Title: How to make Spotlights with Corona
Post by: 1xPaulx1 on 2024-03-26, 11:03:58

Hello:)

I was wondering if there is an easy way to have the effect of spotlight with Corona. There is also a reference and a sketch of the scene, that show what I am trying to do.
Please note that i'm new to Cinema/Corona so im not working with the Node Material Editor yet.

Thank you very much for all answers:)

Hi !

There are at least two ways :

1. Using a C4D Native spot light object. Not the most realistic result but the beam will be customisable.

2. Using an IES file in a Corona Light :

You can find .ies files on internet but before that, check the ones in C4D's Asset Browser.

For better and faster results, use a C4D spot ;)
