This can be thought of as 'thicker fog' if you like. The darker the absorption color, or the lower the absorption distance, then the more light will be absorbed. Absorption controls how much light is absorbed by the medium the light is traveling through. There are three effects to control when using volumetrics: This can be found in the Scene Environment tab of the Render Settings:īy checking this, and adding a CoronaVolume material to the slot, volumetric effects will be calculated throughout the scene. There are two approaches you can take, either using a Global Volume material for where the volumetric effects should fill the whole scene environment, or applying a volume material to specific objects in the scene to control where volumetric effects should occur (for example, for low lying fog or mist, etc.) This means that volumetrics are created in Corona Renderer for Cinema 4D using materials, and no special settings are required in the light sources themselves. How to use volumetrics in Corona for Cinema 4D?Ĭorona Renderer is a physically-based renderer, and just like in the real world, volumetric effects are a property of the material that light passes through, and not a property of the light source itself.
