The particles emit from an object, specifically the texture of that object, which itself is moving along a spline. The light effects were created using X-particles.

Krakatoa does look better though.* The Light Painting Effects – how we did itįor the full story we’ve created a Cinema 4D Light FX video tutorial. *you don’t 100% need Krakatoa – the light FX can also be rendered using X-particles. In the end we developed a workflow using used X-Particles & C4D, rendered with Krakatoa*. In the world of endless tutorials, we managed to find a technique that hadn’t been covered. We couldn’t find a road map for this technique online so had to work it out for ourselves. Hence, we were asked to see if there was a way we could reproduce the effect in 3D. You need a lot of post work, and sometimes that post work will leave artefacts which you can’t get rid of. Light painting effects look amazing, check out Patrick the Light Painter, he’s unbelievable at it: īut, the nature of the technique, with long camera exposure times, makes it difficult to create a video. They asked us if we could emulate the effect of light painting. We were approached by The Croc, a marketing agency who are just next door to us in London. Hope you enjoy the write up and video, drop us your comments and questions!
