Passes

[miohn]

Hi,

sorry! I don't get it atm.

How can I render out an object with reflections (from the surrounding objects - not hdri)
without the surrounding objects.

Like I normally would do with comp-tag/object buffer - not seen by camera but
sending GI and reflections.

thanks
Mike

answer: You can't =)

the way to do that is like rendering two /or as much as You need/ images and then doing photoshop work =) but in some situations it's not the best solution =) thought it works if You need solution badly /including cost of render time =)

indeed, you can't.

Ive heard rumors that a future version will support composting tags

need new features on Octane Standalone for that, like object visibility option

o.k. thanks.
So I'll work with C4D Passes.

one other thing please!

I'm trying to make a slightly blurred glass material which is illuminated inside.
I cannot get this to work.

Any idear how to set this up?
Can I place simply a light inside a glass cube?
Rendertime is of course an important aspect.

thanks
Mike

use an object with a blackbody emission on it for the light. place that in a glass object. adjust the roughness on teh glass to adjust blur

currently working on a project that utilizes this method
