      Hello

      Sorry for my English.
      In an animation two half shells are rotating, drawn in red by me.
      This was added in a compositing program.
      I just want to create the half shells how to get the look created in Redshift.

      Thank you very much

        Hi selection-it,

        Thanks for the file.

        Is that close to what you want?

        The key is to reduce the visibility in the RS Object Tag so you are left with something that looks like a graphical overlay.
        Then, use only the Opacity; the color is the opposite of the result. (Adjust the Hue, and you will see how this works.)
        I have placed a Tube inside for the test renderings.

        All the best

          Thank you very much,

          great for controlling the color.
          Do you have any ideas on how to emphasize the edges? In the original image, the edges are more intense and glow.

          I really appreciate your help

            Hi selection-it,

            Here is a different approach. I added a light source that only illuminates the Two rotating Shells.

            The materials are set up differently. (In the first, I understood you liked an overlay, but obviously not. No problem, let's explore something else.)

            Also, the Post-Bloom is added, allowing for extra light in the scene.

            Now you three areas to explore and adjust. Enjoy!

            My best wishes for your project

            Here is a preview
