MrGAG Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a simple way to mimic trapcode Shine with houdini. I tried with lighting cop, but it seems it's not designed for it, though it has a volumetric function. but I can't see any volumetric shadows Am I looking in the right direction ?

pclaes Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 if you are doing it in comp, it is generally and edge detect combined with a radial blur (more computationally expensive) or streak blur (cheaper,but only one directional streaks). have a look at the comp network in the hip. edge_streaks_03.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarrick Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Not really sure what trapcode shine effect is but my google search turned up a fake volume light effect. You can do that in cops using the lighting node. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malexander Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The lighting COP doesn't do shadows simply because the Z information doesn't include the back-half of objects. The resulting shadows might look a little strange, so I did not include it in the Lighting COP as potential bug-bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
