Even worse there also isn’t any conductive Fresnel in Octane. It simply isn’t possible with the built in tools in Cinema 4D (at least not when relying purely on the tools that you’ll find in the material system). But what about trying to set up copper, aluminum or gold with a fresnel shader? It’s awesome when modeling plastic, glass, porcellain or even shiny wood. The case we all know is the dielectric Fresnel. And the two main cases are for conductive (this will conduct electricity) and dielectric (this won’t conduct electricity) materials. It was discovered by a french guy called Augustin Jean Fresnel and basically says “a given substance will reflect more light at a higher angle of incidence” or: “Use Fresnel’s formula to make things reflect more around the edges” (grossly oversimplifying here…).įunny thing about Fresnel: There is actually more than one way to calculate that amount of reflected light. Ever wondered how to get conductive Fresnel inside of Cinema 4D? Ever wondered what conductive Fresnel is after all? Look no further – we’ve got you covered.įresnel – that formula that drives the behaviour of reflections in Plastic, Glass, Paint – heck anything glossy.
