Volumetric light effects and fog
- [Instructor] Let's look at how we'd add volumetric lighting and fog to our scenes. So the first thing we're gonna at is a method of adding fog using this object, well a cube, but I'm just calling it a fog box. If we come out of our camera, when I enable it you can see it's just a cube. And what we can do to make things a bit easier to see, 'cause when we come back into our camera it's just gonna be nothing, we can add a Cinema 4D display tag and change this to use lines. That helps us out when we're in the viewport here, but not so much in Octane. So, what we need to do is start working with this. So we will create a new material, and it's going to be a specular material, so we'll add in the specular material, and once we drop that on the box, we'll just jump into the camera. So I'll open up the material, and we want to change the index to one, and we wanna take off all the reflections so we'll turn that right down to zero. Let's make sure we've got fake shadows turned on, so now we…
