Grayscale maps for lighting gels in Octane

[ThetaGraphics]

Since Octane uses real world lighting, I had to model a projector system that works similarly to how it does in the real world. Basically a light source behind a specular screen with an image in its transmission node. Though if you just put any old light behind the screen, you'll only get a fuzzy image. (Daylight might work, but it overpowers everything else.)

I'll explain how I managed to get a crisp projection image when I upload my projector prop.

(As for elves...probably a lot. lol)

Wow - nice effect! How did you do that?

Just posted an explanation along with the prop in another thread, Paul, Check it out!
