Thank you for the tips!

Send us an email and we will be happy to 🙂

You’re welcome!

You can use the old Shader Graph node and it will work in there still. 🙂

Excellent question. The short answer is changing the colors in CG vs Comp will be EXACTLY the same if done correctly. The long answer is the benefit of switch the colors in comp is huge. 1. What happens if the client last minute wants it to be blue instead of red? Now you have to go back into CG, wait for render and comp it again. On the other hand, if you have rendered out all your passes and reassembled it in comp you can easily color correct the diffuse to make it blue. 2. You have light years more control of your 3D in comp then you ever will in C4D. Almost 10 out of 10 times comping your CG will make it look better. I always recommend comping your CG. 3. By taking the extra time to properly setup your 3D in comp you will end up saving yourself so much precious time because any change will require everything mentioned in #1. The moral is to always comp your CG if you have the time, it’s always worth the time investment! 💪💪💪

Hello! Unfortunately I am not familiar with Vray so I am not able to help you with this, I wish I could!

@@YouAndMeAcademy Thanks, anyway. Eventually, I'll figure it out. Great video, very clear and easy to follow. Keep'em coming. Cheers.

If I am understanding your question correctly, I simply have the mirror on its own layer and then I just turned on the render visibility in the layer panel.

Sketchfab 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Yes it does 🙂

It’s off of Sketchfab 🙂

@@YouAndMeAcademy great! Can you please share the link?

Go to the Command Manager, search for Reset Transform and set the shortcut to “0” or whatever you’d like 🙂

It depends, but my general rule of thumb is keep the product more static that way it stays lit by your lights. If you start moving the product, eventually it will fall out of the light. I also always try to keep whatever I am lighting as close to 0 world space as possible, just makes like easier.

💪💪💪

You’re welcome 🙂

Unfortunately, no. 😒

It’s all a matter of preference. You can do this in any render engine, they all are mostly the same. Just like giving someone a Nikon vs Canon camera, they both can take great pictures, but it’s up to the user to make it happen.

I think that was me editing the video so you didn’t have to watch me typing 😂

😂Alright brother, I typically use Espresso to link names between multiple objects, so that when I change a name in one object, all other similar objects also change. @@YouAndMeAcademy

Thank you. I figured this technique out of necessity on a job back in the day 🥵

Thanks man!!

"Thanks for the question! We created this before RS Toon was even announced so it relies mainly on a network of OSL shaders and mini setups we created with a custom UI interface only in Xpresso. You link a light into the shader (hence xrpesso nodes only) and it uses the direction for lighting. The three biggest differences are 1. the Halftone Pattern section we created. RS Toon has a node called "Tonemap Pattern" which does the same thing. However ours allows for any custom input, RS Toon (hopefully will eventually). Meaning you can bring in any image you want to create a pattern, your own sketchy lines, markers, squiggly shading, watercolor textures, paint, you name it - you can use it with YMA Toon. 2. YMA Toon comes with 30 presets to drag and drop ready to modify and use out of the box 3. Also we would say the RS Toon outline is stronger since it was coded from the ground up. So honestly mix and matching the two isn't such a bad idea!"

Awesome, I think I would like to use this still over ra too. Shader for now, but is it available for Houdini?

@@YouAndMeAcademy one more question if I may, will this or does this work over in Houdini?

@angelous4x currently it only works with Cinema 4D. 💻

@@YouAndMeAcademy if there is ever a houdini version "shut up and take my money"

Thank you! 🫶

Thank you! 🫶

Here you go! www.pingo.nu/vfxtools

yes of course same idea about shaders, area lights, and animation.

Absolutely! These concepts are based on real world techniques, which is what every 3D app is trying to replicate… the real world.

@@YouAndMeAcademy it is really funny how much people dont think about lighting in rendering the same way we do in a physical studio ..

Exactly, anyone can hold a kitchen knife, but that doesn’t make them a chef 👩‍🍳

You’re welcome 😌

Absolutely 🙃
