hologram projection

[mesht]

hi guys,

 

i was trying to figure how to create the vertical hologram projection effect with mr, any ideas?

from the real-life examples, a mixture of different colors are projected, creating the translucent shape of the object.

Technically a hologram is a volumetric effect, so depending on how difficult you want to make it, try the parti-volume shader

 

Id rather play with mapping the image onto a plane with varying levels of opacity and translucency.

Even those savvy folks at ILM do it in post but if you're up for the challenge of doing it with mental ray, all the best.

 

Here's a link to a quick "how-to" guide using After Effects.

thx for the link

 

maybe i'll try the 2 methods first, see how it goes. if it's too difficult, then do it in post
