Title: Hologram Effect
Post by: sof_fiore on 2020-12-29, 11:09:02
Hi everyone!
I'm new here and I really need your help.
I use Corona Renderer for Maxon Cinema 4D and I'd like to give to my 3D objects a hologram effect.
Something like this: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/hand-hologram-800x450.jpg
Does anyone know how to make a Coronal Material that is both trasparent and capable of emitting soft light?
Thanks in advance!

Sof

Hi, this should be fairly easy to do. The key here will be Bloom and Glare to sell the effect.

Thank you so much, that's the exactly the effect that I'd like to obtein.
I tried your material to my 3D objects (They are not globes, but trees, rocks and a house) and I have not been able to convey the same effect, in particular, How have you been able to realize that halo around the sphere?

As mentioned earlier, this is where Bloom and Glare come in. ;) Please see our help guide for more:

@sof_fiore Perhaps your scene scale is dramatically different from the sample? If you make a glow effect like that on a globe the size of a basketball, then apply the same material for the an actual-size version of the Earth, you probably won't see anything. The effects/settings often need to match the size of the objects. That make sense?
