    Hi,

    See this material provided in the library. I don't have the slightest idea how to do this. There must be some reason for everything that is happening. It is a great learning opportunity to use advanced setups.

    Thanks
    Ricardo

      Hi Ricardo,

      Please have a look here:
      https://stcineversityprod02.blob.core.windows.net/$web/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2024_PROJECTS_DRS/CV4_2024_drs_24_RSdr_01.jpg

      I have sorted the nodes a little bit for educational purposes.

      All the main input nodes are now on the left. Please note that this is not procedural; it is based on textures. Download the material, apply it to an object in the scene, and "Save Project with Assets, then take a look in the tex folder.

      The main setup is done in the larger "green" Group Setting Node. Here, the size options are crucial.

      Two significant things are happening here; one is that the whole setup is targeting a Triplanar projection. Which might not be needed for a Can, but it shouldn't hurt.

      Then, you have more exemplary tuning nodes in the middle field, e.g., Color Correct nodes, to set up different behaviors.

      If you don't use a Glass Pane, meaning just using a Plane of a Cylinder, perhaps switch to a Thin wall, but that will limit refraction if no displacement is set up (RS Object Tag> Geometry).

      I hope that helps to get your exploration started.

      All the best

        Hi Sassi,
        Thanks for the introduction; it was a start, but there is so much going on behind this. At least for a beginner.
        I'd love to see some of the trainees setting up this from scratch on a webinar. There is so much to learn, IMO.

        My best wishes

          Thanks for the feedback, Ricardo, which helps me to suggest this series:

          Elly goes carefully through the Nodes, and next week is the next Episode:
          https://www.maxon.net/en/events
          During that show, you can ask questions, and perhaps you might be up to speed with these Nodes in no time.

          Enjoy
