Gernge Quick Tips - Custom AOVs | Cinema 4D Redshift

This quick tip is an introduction to Custom AOVs in Redshift. Using the Store Color AOV Node, we can create A Render Pass out of pretty much any Node, Texture or Layer, which Can be used Later in Compositing. I demonstrate using Surface Imperfections, animated Maxon Noises, and Curvature & Round Corners to give 3D text an edge highlight.

This information should apply to Redshift in other DCCs, and the steps to use the Custom AOVs will depend on the compositing app you use.

the round edges trick to get the bevel in a custom AOV is a gem.

Man you are the best! I use c4d every day and this channel is great

Very much enjoying your Redshift series. It’s hard to find quality tutorials that don’t just leave me feeling more confused than when I started. Thank you.

Would you consider making a tutorial about using a Redshift light as a “projector”? I know it’s possible to just drag a texture onto a light, but to create the volumetric shafts of light between RS source and whatever you’re projecting onto, plus flickering etc. that would be a killer tutorial.

In fact anything that helps get a better handle on the environment object in general for creating a sense of scale and mood… :-)

I've been scouring the internet... do you know if there's a way to create an AOV for post-effects in Redshift? I've seen several workarounds that seem to work, but no true post-effects AOV...

[antronero]

Awesome, but why are you using the old version of c4d?

What about deep output can make a video about how to render deep exr and all

[ryanmassiah]

For all of your AOV and renders from RS, do you alway use DWAB?

One thing I always do is if I need a Custom AOV for multiple surface imperfections is to combine them into their own RGB pass.. So I'm not managing 3 extra file sequences. you could also do this for combining the surface imperfections and the curvature into a single pass.
