@Dr-Sassi Beautiful!

@Pim said in Liquid acid with lights:

@Dr-Sassi I like your first scene, but I am missing the animation.
Also I wonder why below material does not work.
I keep getting a white light.

@Dr-Sassi Real nice colors and again a very interesting approach, thanks.
The basic idea is, I guess, make each light into a projector.

Some questions:

• you took this approach because you cannot put a material on a RS Spotlight?
  Or make a object into a light source?

• you use the "Color User Data - MoGraph - Color" to give the spheres color and mask.
  Is there a way to define your own Random Shader colors?

Browsing on the internet I got the idea of doing the "liquid acid" with lights and found a simple example.

With this scene file:

Now I want to add my own material to the light, for example with a noise as mask.
I tried a lot, but i could not manage, could you please help me.

Pim

@Dr-Sassi Oke, I can create nice pictures / animations with multiple layers / planes and using noise as masks.
Here some examples.

This thread can be closed now.
Now I wil start focusing on Liquids.

No problem here either.
Thank for all the good work (21+ years!).

@Dr-Sassi I meant this one. You use it in your scene.

Enjoy your vacation,
Pim

Sorry, for me it was a follow up question on your scene where you used it.

Restarting ciname 4d and no other app's solves the issue.

I cannot find any info on the Blend (color) Object.
Could you please explain.

Also I do not fully understand the materials using the Vertex attribute.

@Dr-Sassi I am going back to the basics.
Two planes on top of each other (y=0 and y=-1) and both a animated noise and the top one an additional noise for the opacity.
Some questions:

• is opacity the sam as alpha?
• how can i get the original colors in the render
  For example, the red and yellow.
• how can I add a post effect like blur?

Output:

Off topic. Your post is here:

Please new themes in a new thread. Thanks.

Your latest scene is just it!

Now some more vivid colors and perhaps a 3rd emitter.

I also have to look into the Blend object. Never used that one before.

Oke, I will look at it closely, but I think we are getting there.

Note: restarting cinema 4d solved the render issue!

@Pim Here a second example with 2 emitters and with different settings.

But I am still not happy with the 'mixing', with the textures.
Also, the render error is also with this scene file.

2 emitters v02.c4d

I started a new thread for my Liquid Acid 'project'.
I now focus on using Liquids to create the effect.
I started with the Noseman tutorial and changed to have 2 emitters and thus 2 textures.
Although the textures are not really mixing, I guess with the right textures it could be improved.

However I have now an issue that the render is stopped due to "Failed to allocate necessary GPU recyclable memory".

Here the scene file.

Beautiful effects!
I will try to combine them using Maxon Noise as Mask.
I will post the results.

I want to create those 'old fashion lighth shows' for a music video, initially.
And perhaps later on for the live shows.

I am not sure with what you by 'a new theme'., my main theme is how to 'mix' textures?

Liquids looks great, but I did not find yet, how to mix texture using Liquids.
I know Houdine is capable of doing this, so I guess Liquids will be able to do the same.
Could you make me an example?

I will explore Liquids and your other options (noise as mask, feather or displacement and Vertex values) in more detail.

Thank you,
Pim
