    Hi there,

    alt text

    I have a question regarding setting up a scene to get results as shown in the picture above.

    I want to have a flexible setup as I need to customize these and later animate them.

    I tried setting up a particle system with a tracer but couldn't get the "curtain" effect with the more transparent spots. Then I tried with splines inside a sweep object and a translucent material but there's not enough randomisation. Also tried with a plane and a cloth tag which gives a nice look but also not really what I'm after. I also tried with sweeping splines and setting up a fresnel shader but also couldn't get the desired look.

    Maybe you can point in some direction where I could look to get this going?

    Thanks a ton in advance

      Hi table-state,

      Please have a look here:
      CV4_2025_drs_25_RSxr_01.c4d

      login-to-view

      With options to fine-tune the results with the Color contrast values.

      |CV4_2025_drs_25_RSxr_11.c4d

      Is that close to what you like to have?

      Perhaps with some extra splines and post effects (Bloom)

      The key is in the material. I used here the simplest way.

      Cheers

        Sorry for the late reply!

        Thank you so much, this is just awesome. I tweaked it and experimented a lot and I'm really happy with it.
        The material setup also is gold. Very very helpful.

        Thanks again, you are always so helpful. I can't comprehend how you are able to know probably everything
        about C4D. 😄

        Cheers
