Join Ian Robinson for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating visible light rays, part of Cinema 4D R16 Essential Training.
…One of my favorite times of the day is the early morning.…Specifically in the springtime, when the sun is rising and…there's a low fog on the ground.…The sunbeams visibly create beautiful light rays as they…shine through the trees.…Now, in this video, we're going to create a similar effect, but…we're not going to shine the light through trees.…We'll shine it through a circle of cubes.…Now, I know it doesn't look like I have a circle of cubes,…because I don't, but we can easily create that.…I'm just going to click on my Cube object here in the Objects Manager.…
Hold down Option, and…then go over to this button here that looks like a circle of cubes.…If you click and hold on that, that is an array object.…So, let's go ahead and choose the array, and…it's automatically going to make copies of my cube and arrange them in a circle.…So let's increase the number of copies up to a value of about 20.…And then we'll just increase the radius of our copies to something around 435.…Okay, so that works.…Now that we have our array set up, let's go ahead and add a light so…
