Volumetric Effect with text

[ddustin]

I'd like to have a volumetric effect light shine on my business text, but have the shadow from the text appear as black shofts behind the text.

 

The current setup looks like this.

The shadows are repeatd in the vouletric effect too many times.

 

Thanks,

David

those arent individual shadwos repeating in the volumetric, rather it's noise created in the volumetric itself. to fix it all you have to do is increase the quality of the volumetric... about 2000% quality should be fine. Be sure to also render with multipass, as it dulls out the banding as well.

If the suggestion works, please repost a render because I've tried to accomplish the same thing.

Here is what I came up with.

 

I combined 2 volumetric effects.

 

The total clip is 30 seconds long, because I couldn't get the effects to loop well.

Very cool effect. which turbulence did u end up using?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure it was dust or mist (rendering something in AE so computer is tied up).

Just played with the swirl settings and had a volumetric light shining on the text.
