Now you made me curious ha ha ha 😁

@@SilverwingVFXI didn't expect the long hair 😉

i imagined you were older short hair but also bearded@@SilverwingVFX sorry for that

@@bunny_kuma Ha ha. Thank you very much for your reply. No need to be sorry. Just interesting what picture the people have in mind when hearing my voice 🙌

@@SilverwingVFX 🙏🙏🙏

Ha ha ha ha. Auch wenn meine Haare "Rockstar" sagen, bin ich eher der rugige Typ, der mit einem guten Essen und einem Bier im Sonnenschein zufrieden ist.

@@SilverwingVFX geht mir mittlerweile ebenso :)

Hey Jirko, thank you so much for your kind words, your support and watching the whole video 🙌

You are very welcome. Appreciate that the video provides you with some extra info. Fingers crossed you can make the jump to a amazing pedal / leave material. It´s not in the video to keep it short. But I usually set the material to a Universal Material because of the reflection you get, that you need in a lot of cases (make sure it is still using diffuse transmission) Cheers, a good start into this week and happy shading!

Thank you for this great compliment 😊 Great to hear that you like the videos 🙌✨

Hey hey, thanks once more for your comment and your support. Glad you liked it. Yeah sometimes less is more 🧻 Ha ha ha . Can be done with this technique too Thank sou for watching it all 😊

Hey Jeon, thank you very much. Great to hear that. I very much appreciate your kind words 🙏🙌

Thank you PXOL. Actually I am 39 😇 So your guess is a huge compliment ha ha. And thank you so much for your kind birthday wishes. Much appreciated!

Thank you very much for your comment. I usually use Universal too to get a reflection layer on top of the transmission. If you are using diffuse transmission in the universal settings, the outcome should be as expected. Looking forward hearing back from you!

Thank you for your comment. Great to hear you can make it work with Octane Blender. My take on this is that you probably remember it better because you have to think a bit more to make it work 🙌 Thank you for saying thanks. Much appreciated 😊✨

Thank you so much for your great comment and your nice words. And of course great to hear that my videos are offering some knowledge to you!

Thank you very much for your comment. Basically its the exact same approach as with this tut. But in the end you use a Universal material (make sure the transmission is still set to diffuse). This will give you a reflection on top which is needed for a lot of leaves. Hopefully you get there. Its only a small step from the end of this video. Cheers and a great start into this week!

Hey Bernwolff, thank you very much for birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. About your question: I am fortunate that my clients mostly understand that lighting changes color values. For those who like the hue values intact I usually render mattes (custom AOVs) for the parts that are critical and then counter correct those in comp so they have the right tonality. Luckily it did not happen to me but if a client is a pain and very anal about the colors and does not understand that it´s not possible to have the exact RGB values because there is shadow, reflections etc. Then I would probably decide not to work with them again in the future.

Thank you very much for your nice words and your question. If you need to transform an image with colors into the right lightness values, you can easily do so by using the "Range" node. This allows you to also map colors. If you search for it with in the nodes with tab, its the second from the top in the search list. Pipe your texture into the value slot. Leave the input min and input max to 0 and 1. Set the output min to around 0.05 and the output max to around 0.7. Then also use that in the multiply that goes in to the transmission (like I do in the video). Since there is color in there now, this should not invert your transmission. I hope this helps! Cheers

Thank you for your great comment and input. The only thing I can think of to get to those "edge cases" is with normal maps. Though of course it falls apart when you either get to close or your view is too flat. Having a normal map that acts like the last couple of pixels of the rim face to the side will give you the right lighting / reflections there. You would also have to use a side shader to make the normal map go into the right direction on both sides (invert it on the back side of the polys)

@@SilverwingVFX thank you very much for the advice!

Hey there Abdu and thank you very much for your Comment and request. Right now I mostly make Octane tuts. So right now its not very likely that I will make Redshift tuts. Sorry 😢 But maybe in the future some time.

Hey there and thank you very much for your nice comment. Great to hear you like the content and thanks for all the paper ha ha ha. Appreciate that you watched the whole thing! Cheers and a great start into the week to you!

Hey there and thank you very much for your comment. Roughness does unfortunately not blur the transmission because the thickness of a polygon is zero. What you could do to get a slightly blurred look is to use another set of slightly blurred textures for the transmission. I have not tried it myself but that should kind of work. Thank you also for your birthday wishes. Much appreciated 🙏🥰

Heyyyy Yassin. Vielen Dank für die Geburtstagsgrüße und für deinen tollen Support. Freut mich wirklich sehr! Oh sehr nice Toscana! Wir haben hier in Deutschland auch fast Toskana Temperaturen gerade ha ha. Allerdings ist es vermutlich ein wenig schwüler hier.

Hey thank you for your birthday wishes and your kind words. About your question... to be honest I don´t understand fully what outcome you are working towards 😅 I would appreciate if you could elaborate and help me understand. Thank You 🙌

@@SilverwingVFX say we created a daylight scene and included a lit 40W bulb light (no surface brightness)- we then add a HDRI and increase its power visually similar to how you would see a real lit 40W bulb in actual daylight (barely notice its power) . Then use the camera imager to expose back down to make the very overblown HDRI look normal. Is this any better than a scene where the HDRI is just at regular 0-2 power values? I know Octane works with real world settings best and I wondered if the scene was built this way with light values much above normal but pulled back in camera (like a real DSLR) does it help with anything? or as its 3D it doesn't matter. Just wondering if things like adaptive noise sampling etc benefited from larger light values even if your aim is a visually darker scene through an underexposed camera. I will do some tests to see if it even makes sense.

Thank you. Ha ha, I was thinking of writing some easter egg on the receipt. Maybe I should do that more often. Thank you for the birthday wishes 😊

Thank you Joakim. Glad to see you watched it whole. Thanks for your support!

Ha ha ha ha. Thank you so much ❤️
