Maru's random stuff

[maru]

Random comeback! As usually straight from the vfb with no other post-processing. Basically a few Corona Scatters then some LightMixing. Everything is 100% procedural. The fog/clouds are fully 3d with a volumetric material.

Inspired by a movie I saw recently. ;)

Looking great Maru, the volumetrics really make it work :) I wanna guess the movie was Blade Runner, huh?! ;)

that fog looks marvelous.

i am trying to achieve same cloudiness. can you tell more about setting up this fog?

Yup!

It was basically a plane with displacement, and a distance map to drive it away from buildings.

Actually I think I can share this scene. Stand by...

"... a distance map to drive it away from buildings. "

i am interested on this one. does this translates on c4d corona as well? i was wondering, how did you make this natural looking fog all around artefacts (buldings, etc)

As promised. Have fun!

Post in on facebook, then you could like it ;]
@maru, any 3rd party plug-in involved, or it's just pure Corona power? :]

Thank you. It would be good if you can add the like or thanks button for website.

Pure Corona. It's a metal-like material covered with a thin layer of glass with dispersion enabled. You can get a lot of cool effects with this (though hard to control). I'll post some more examples soon.

We are planning general forum migration/overhaul at some point, so who knows what magic will be available then.

Playing with the new bokeh. It seems that's it's a bit tricky to find the sweet spot, but here is center bias at 0,5 and vignetting at 2.

[romullus]

My head is spinning :] Marvelous bokeh! Now we need onion rings, dust map and CA and bokeh in Corona will be nearly perfect! ;]
By the way, my findings were similar, something of 0,5 bias and 1-1,5 vigneting gives "optimal" result.

one of my most wanted features looks great ! my only observation is the ring around the cat eye get only half of it instead of the whole form other than that looks practically the same as a camera.

[romullus]

I think it's actually how it should be. It's called optical vignetting not without a reason. Here's couple examples where that phenomena is clearly visible:
