Title: Laser beam material
Post by: YURII on 2020-09-08, 10:32:25

Hi guys,

I'm working on laser tool product renderings and I need to create laser beams and surfaces for these things, is there any good way to do that, would appreciate if you could share some tips.

One image is what I need to create, second one is how I think it should look.

Thank you!

I think faking it might be the best option. Here I'm using a standard C4D light and adjusted it to be more like a beam, also added was a plane and gradient to emulate its visibility. I have attached the test scene, feel free to do as you please with it. Maybe it will help.

I noticed Include/Exclude is not supported with C4D lights. Is there a workaround for this?
