Yeh that would be good. You can download Substance materials (some are free) and import them into Arnold really easily. I got a pretty decent snow one. Still really tough to make snow look good tho!
I would reeeeaaaaaalllly like to have the rest of the tutorial for this. That picture in the thumbnail has a lot more work done on it. Even looks like a vdb displacement. I really feel like this style really needs a vdb, from houdini or something... Does R23 have anything to get closer to that look? Also Am I missing something during the steps? My displacement only goes into a straight line and not on random vertically and horizontally EDIT: I decided to up the steps and BOOM that was the key. Steps is the most important part to get the details. That and the clipping on the shader. Also you will never get the nice look that Lee gets without using VDB files, unfortunately.
Hey there. Do you have any tips on what those refinements and tweaks were to get this looking like you showed us at the start of the video? Those are the elements I'm most curious about. I think it's what makes the image super polished.
Hi, if I want it to spread in all directions (like an explosion), how do I do that? I really don't understand how vector map works. Been trying to figure this out for a few hours now...
First of all, ty for sharing this great technique. :) Second, is there any chance to connect the Voulme shader to a SSS Shader and shade this all in SSS like in your pictures ? Thanks a lot :)
Some say so but I don't know as I don't use Octane but supposedly you can with the new Vectron feature in the latest version but would only support GPU shaders. So no C4D noises.
Great tutorial have tried the Arnold help version and getting further with your technique, But . . Any chance of a scene file, I can't get this quite right, especially the fall off, trying todo this on an older iMac and its so slow, so any help is appreciated.
Make sure you assign a seperate camera for the UVs remember the camera is projecting the UV coordinates. Maybe test the ramp setup with a simple sphere and standard shader to see how it works.
is there one for maya still somewhere? lee grigg's videos are no longer available and i'm havin some trouble with my nodes. none of the maya nodes work as these do in the video. my density and displacement DO NOT directly take direct output from the range or noise nodes in maya....... please help
Hey great tutorial guys ! Having a problem though that I can't seem to google: After I set up a camera to be used for the camera projection and lock it, when I navigate around the editor the camera projection still updates as if the locked camera hasn't been set up. Any ideas ?
Really cool effect. Im new to C4D so theres a lot im trying work out. Im having issues with applying the noise to the volume, when i do it nothing changes in the IPR?
Hey ! I've done this tuts once and it works perfectly, but i tried with an other 3D model and when im getting to this step: put a Arnold mesh volum tags on my model, nothing happens, it doesn't convert to a volume, any help ? I first thought that was my model or something like this but i tried several others and thats the same problem
Is it possible that the New Editor of Arnold works different then the old Network shader? Because the displacement in with the Old Legacy Material and Network Shader is instantly visible whereas in the New Node Editor I could not get it to have that extreme effect. There is also a new node in the Editor called "Arnold Material". Can someone explain to me the difference of the two Shader Networks?
I think that I've might done something wrong. After adding the texture image, I don't get any color. I've added a mars, orange/bron-ish image but it remains black and white. Help, maybe? :D
Thanks for the tutorial! I've followed the instructions, but when I render through arnold I just have completely flat white object without any details - other object with regular material is rendering fine. Does someone have an idea how to fix this
Hi ! Nice tutorial ! But when i'm trying to put the first "Range mode" it says me that it only can be on "default" mode and not "main".. Do you know how i can fix it ? Thx a lot
I tried to replicate this technique in Maya, everything went well but the aiVectorMap didn't give me the same result. Do you have any idea ? Does it have something to do with different axis in C4D and Maya ?
Hi, I followed this great tutorial in Maya and I had a lot of fun figuring out the different possibilitys of volume displacements. But I ran into a problem when I tried to blend the effect with the ramp node. I can't plug the camera projection output into the mix input of the layer rgba. I tried to find the solution for three days but it just doesn't work. It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance!
I wonder, because when I use vector map I can clearly see cutout (like some noise values goes rapidly to 0 over and below some y value). I've increased tangent and normal in y axis but it rather stretches it than give extra space to reduce or feather the cutout. Any ideas?
I can not do this effect, I do everything according to the guide, but I have a vector map does not change direction, and the volume is stretched not so far, I did in cinema s24
I don't know if that helps you, but you can use the old version of the Node Editor of Arnold (Legacy) under extensions. With this I am getting somewhere. It seems to be the contrast value of the range Node that is behaving differently than in the new editor...
Yes it is with vectrons (SDF) in 2018.1. You'll have to convert your mesh to a volume first (easy to do in R20) and then you can feed that into vectron shader and displace it, process it, combine with other volumes or pretty much do whatever you imagine through OSL.
@@shawnastrom Ha! I wish it was vector displacement, but, no, It's Signed Distance Fields just like in Arnold, Renderman, OpenGL and everywhere else. There's only so many ways to create surfaces "out of thin air".
Unfortunately not at the moment. As far as I know Arnold is the only render engine that is capable of displacing volumes. This might be possible in Houdini’s Mantra engine or RenderMan maybe.
This my 1st Arnold Tutorial, i had to took a nap to process this 11:18 minutes tutorial. Thank you.
So...I finally get Octane and now you're using Arnold. dafuq lol
Arnold rules!
Look into vectron in octane you can get similar results with way faster renders

Thank you so much for this tutorial dude! Been having so much fun with this technique!
Great to hear!
Always wanted this. Followed the lee griggs tut to no end. Thanks!
Thanks for all the Arnold tutorials! You have no idea just how much I appreciate you guys for putting out all of this
Wow that’s so amazing
So original. The coolest effect i've seen, big respect
Love this tutorial - Could you possibly do a Part 2 to this and show how best to get the marble paint displacement effect in there?\
So amazing looking. Beautiful stuff. Thanks!
We need this details with redshift c4d ?
Thank you so much for this! Love it!
It's an awesome technique!!
It's pretty sick. I need it know in Redshift :)
Chad, could you do a tutorial on making a snow shader next
Yeh that would be good. You can download Substance materials (some are free) and import them into Arnold really easily. I got a pretty decent snow one. Still really tough to make snow look good tho!
In depth tutorial on arnold render setting
dude you are awesome, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Love this -- thanks so much for making this tutorial, and cool shoutout to lee griggs .. love his work.
Any idea how to do this in Octane?
No way. Only if they make work Volume builder voxel rendering in cinem4d.
They making it in 2019 in a few months this feature will be availiable there as well
Use octane for maya
@@MotionPunk It wasn't ever added lol

Wow, thank you! Happy to be an Arnold user haha :D
We are spoiled these days with all of the choices!
Love this... thanks for the share. How does one achieve, the like SSS glow transparency?
Excellent tut! Anything like this possible in redshift these days??
Dark mode for shader graph? :)
Great one, loved it!
AMAZING
real cool!!!

4:37 why i don't have that parameters in my range node?? :/
Going to try with different render.
awesome thanks!
I've always been searchng for a Redshift version of this tutorial. Is it possible to create something similar in Redshift?
Great tutorial, thank u
Hi, if I want it to spread in all directions (like an explosion), how do I do that? I really don't understand how vector map works. Been trying to figure this out for a few hours now...
When I get to 4:00 when you use C4D Noise, I just don't have it in there? What should I do?
Make sure you have the latest version of Arnold. They added native C4D noise support a while ago.
Thank youuu! Can I animate the camera to ad some movement and if yes which camera should I animate???
do you think that is possible to do it with redshift?
First of all, ty for sharing this great technique. :)
Second, is there any chance to connect the Voulme shader to a SSS Shader and shade this all in SSS like in your pictures ? Thanks a lot :)
Dont think you can just connect shaders to shaders in that way, you need to connect channel to channel, within each shader..
This guy's a God!!
Please, oh please, this is so awesome, can we do that in Octane?

Thanks Shawn, I am getting something now, not sure what was wrong before . . .
Houdini Mantra do this for so long time :)
And takes the triple or more to render
Can you keyframe that transformation with Arnold?
is there one for maya still somewhere? lee grigg's videos are no longer available and i'm havin some trouble with my nodes. none of the maya nodes work as these do in the video. my density and displacement DO NOT directly take direct output from the range or noise nodes in maya....... please help
very good
Could i do it in octane render with cinema 4d?
Can an image sequence be used to animate this? If yes then how? Thanks for sharing and thanks if anyone can answer, I am using maya btw..
Interesting. Thank you for making the tutorial. You can do the same idea in Houdini. Same idea but better control.
Hey great tutorial guys ! Having a problem though that I can't seem to google: After I set up a camera to be used for the camera projection and lock it, when I navigate around the editor the camera projection still updates as if the locked camera hasn't been set up. Any ideas ?
Make sure to link your camera into the camera projection node 😀
can you guys do it this without arlond do it normally or with octane?
Can I do this without Arnold or any plugins?
I need the same on redshift please ! :o
Thank you
Great!
corona has noise volume. and layer mixing I am wondering if if can do the projection thing...
Really cool effect. Im new to C4D so theres a lot im trying work out. Im having issues with applying the noise to the volume, when i do it nothing changes in the IPR?
same problem here!
Make sure you have the volume padding higher than 0 in the mesh volume tag.
How can I do it like in your pucture? I mean the mesh. I do only like a smoke

Make sure you're volume density is high and you have a small bright light
How about X-Particles Explosia or Open VDB files as the displacement?
You can do this with any VDB assets as well!

Is it possible to animate the step size?
can i convert the final result to a polymesh?
Is it possible to make a video with this effect?
May i ask what is your CPU set up?
The lesson is fire, and you can make a secret effect with standard renderer or physicak renderer. Thank!
How do you do it in Octane Render? ⭕
Interesting, could probably be done with new mesh builder in R20 with a vertex falloff , linear falloff. Smooth and some....I'm gonna try it now.
Let us know what you find.

Hey Greyscale, when I move my camera view around after completing the volume shader network, how come the human head disappears at different angles?
Morgan Obrien don't move the camera that projects the ramp, lock that one and use another camera to navigate through the scene. 8:50

Hi man, can we animate the noise with volume displacement.?
You sure can all day long :)
Could it be possible ot have the file to study? :( Thanks!!
When I connect the C4d noise to the standard volume it doesn't show up at all and I'm very confused
cool！how to achieve this effect with oc?
I got a question... How do I get the render of vector displacement with Its alpha?
I wonder, because when I use vector map I can clearly see cutout (like some noise values goes rapidly to 0 over and below some y value). I've increased tangent and normal in y axis but it rather stretches it than give extra space to reduce or feather the cutout. Any ideas?
when i render to picture viewer I just get a black screen. How can I fix that?
It's possible in blender cycles using a custom .osl shader. The only drawback is that these run unly on the CPU.
I can not do this effect, I do everything according to the guide, but I have a vector map does not change direction, and the volume is stretched not so far, I did in cinema s24

@@JonasDahl-m6q In terms of a different node editor, do you mean an older version of Arnold itself? I originally used the Arnodl legacy

what about redshift? I'm at a loss as to what renderer to invest in.. :/
Something you can do in Redshift?
Unfortunately not at the moment. As far as I understand the Arnold team has some proprietary tech going on here with rendering volumes.
is it possible octane?
don't think so sadly. makes me wanna get Arnold!

Just good old CPU but this is on a newer 32-Core Threadripper system.

Just tried with 3.0.3.1 and GPU still can't render.
There are so many limitations to Arnold GPU.
@@dmellis Arnold GPU is more for lookdev, for production just switch to CPU. I also think in maya it runs way better then in c4d

Thanks for watching.
Does VRAY provide similar options?
I don't think Vray has this ability either... But I'm not quite sure. Definitely not in the C4D version at the moment. Maybe in MAX.
why my c4d shader is nothing?
I don't why but i feel like need more explanation..
