For everyone attempting this with octane render i found a way to achieve the same effect. Just placing an octane tab on the mospline won't work. So follow all the steps and then create a sweep and place inside it the mospline and a circle. Then, and only then, you can apply the material to the sweep. I've tried this for a whole morning and this seems to be the only way with octane render.
Daniel I would like to thank you for all the content on your channel. Im starting with C4D and even some of your tuts are quite complex for me, Im in love with your style and the way you carry us tru your videos. Thanks again for this, you just got another sub! I WILL STAY IN MOTION!
Amazing as always! Loving the Arnold tuts! Would love to take a look at the atmospheric scattering node editor and how you went about creating the sun. Regardless, keep the great Arnold tutorials coming!
Arnold is the best! The sun actually gets a lot of it's look from atmospheric scattering. Other than that it's just a disc light with the colour temperature animated.
Landscape is just a few regular old landscape objects, twisted out of and into shape. The city is even more basic. It's a bunch of cubes with a satellite image of a city at night as a texture... XD
Really great tutorial Daniel. It would be very great of you if you can tell me how you got that nice blue sky and how you achieved that daytime clouds timelapse shown in a preview. Thanks!!
The clouds is some time lapse footage of real clouds I composited in post. The blue sky is simply a massive blue light shining through the Atmospheric Volume in the scene!
Very cool. I tried myself but couldnt figure it out. I don´t have Arnold Render so i tried with a Sweep Nurbs and add a material with Colorize(added a lot of colours) and Color Shader with Multiply mode. But can´t get it to work.
You could separate each individual sweep and throw them all into a cloner. If you end up with 30 sweeps then set the cloner to 30 clones and it will run through each one only once. Use the cloner to assign an index number to each spline and then use the multi-shader to vary the colors. Another approach might be to use the hair module. Instead of creating geometry you could apply a hair material and hair render tag to your traced spline. In the hair material you can then adjust the thickness/color/stroke of the material to suit but I'm not too sure about the color variation on each individual spline - that might be difficult to do with a hair mat since there's no multi-shader available there.
I'm doing exactly the same as what you told, but there is something wrong. Could you share the source files of the project or just the log file please?
Daniel, hello! Thank's for the very cool tutorials! I have one question, do you use redshift render? It's very fast GPU render, but there are not enough lessons on TH-cam. Can you a make tutorial on this render?
For it to show up in standard renderer you can turn the tracer to geometry: Simply put the Tracer in a Sweep Nurb with a Circle Object, then add materials as you normally would. (You probably want to change the "Intermediate Points" to None in the Circle Object for the sake of speed though.)
Nice tipp using mograph spline object for animating the splines length. I would have used x-particles. But it is always good to know several ways just in case a client or colleague does not have a certain plugin ;-)
Or in my case: using a render farm which freaks the tracer the fuark out when nodes randomise frame order - pro2-bar-s3-cdn-cf3.myportfolio.com/cbed12fe68e7a53d041016f742b1630c/ec240b517a9ce049a829ddecbaff105f2d7b2bf61f669f435e44a52224c42c140279e8415249387d_rw_1920.jpg
Thanks to this comment I'll actually be uploading a tutorial on this in the next few weeks... The latest release of Arnold is way better with volumes than the previous versions!
I've done some research and watched some Arnold Maya tutorial then finally figured it out. But still hoping for a more detail tutorial on Arnold c4d.Looking forward to the tutorial release.
Hey man, great tutorial! I was able to follow and everything in my C4D looks like how you set it up but I don't see the stars for some reason when I render. I have Arnold (installed it just for this), and my renderer is set to Arnold but when I try to render it gives me an error saying it's missing the radius parameter. Any idea what the problem could be? My tracer has the Arnold Parameters tag.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the tracer. Tracers can be a bit tricky to render properly when things are animated. Did you try the MoSpline setup?
I had a go at RS, not easy and straight forward as with Arnold..........the price one have to pay for GPU renderer, lol. Redshift looks promising but many bugs to fix really
hey, first of all, awesome tut, i love your voice ! However my C4d crashes everytime i try to link the utility tab to the beauty pass. Is there a way i can fix this ?
Welcome to the world of Motion my man! The scene is just a little landscape I built for the tutorial, and it's buried deep on one of my archive disks. So it's not really something you can download from anywhere.
You keep doing short cuts really fast without explaining what you are pressing, then i have to try to see the shortcut keys on the screen but it's too fast. so then I have to google around to find the shortcut. It would be nice if you would take a few seconds to describe the keys your are pressing. Thanks
You are way too fast and you need to go more into detail it’s a shame with no arnorld tutorials that with you being one of the only channels that does create tutorials you could help us all out a lot more I appreciate the content tho

I like the sound of that. Keep up that Motion!
Man, you're a genius, That's some smart technique for making stars, thank you!
Thanks and you're most welcome!
Great tutorial , love the classic music too !
I've had mixed responses to it, but I like it too! :)
Your videos are so sophisticated haha. A pleasure to watch.
I did´t know how rendering the tracer with Arnold, but It is very easy. Thank you
Amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial :)
Mind blown, didnt know you could do this!
oh men, you make fantastic tutorial, it's so funcking amazing!!!! please continue
With support like this I have to keep doing 'em! :)
Wow! This is amazing!! Thank you very much. Your are the best!!! :)
Glad you like it!

keep it on ...I like your tutorials :)
Thank you so much
Dope, thanks for the tutorial 🔝
Hoy can I change the colours from the stars with Octane? (Sorry for my english)
We've published here: tutorials.cgrecord.net/2017/08/making-star-trails-with-c4d-arnold.html
Cheeers!

Sounds like the right way to go, what part doesn't work?

Thanks for helping. I´ll try
I can't imagine
How did you make the mountain shader?
Is this possible with octane?
thank you. why doesnt arnold sky have stars and a night sky in general?
🤷♂️ Very good question.
I'm doing exactly the same as what you told, but there is something wrong. Could you share the source files of the project or just the log file please?
We need a face reveal really badly. Wondering who that elegant voice belongs to.
Well I do have a face...
How to open material with arnold shader?

It does seem very good. Unfortunately I don't have the GPU to support it... Otherwise I might be all over that.
Thanks.
Welcs. :)
Omg this is the first time a TH-camr ever replied my comment!!! Greetings from Malaysia~ :D
Hey, that makes me feel kinda special! :)
we are newbie. we dont use arnold, so cant see material in render placed on tracer. Pl, advise

@@DanielDanielsson thanks
I did everything right but the stars never spin with the fixed point in the middle, can you hint?
Might be as simple as the camera or the base sphere pointing the wrong way.
@@DanielDanielsson I've corrected it: just rotate the sphere exactly 90 degrees
@@BrazilLive Perfect!

Привет
Не могу разобраться как подсветить в октане. Подскажи пожалуйста.
Я не говорю на октане, извините.
Hello, can't we get the landscape you are using.
It's just a few regular old landscape objects with some vertices pulled.
A little question: how to render atmospheric light and volume light in Arnold.can't find any tut about that.
Thanks to this comment I'll actually be uploading a tutorial on this in the next few weeks...

Hi I was wondering if you have any tips of setting up the material for the star trail in Redshift? Thanks
Wish I did man, haven't touched Redshift though...
I had a go at RS, not easy and straight forward as with Arnold..........the price one have to pay for GPU renderer, lol. Redshift looks promising but many bugs to fix really
I'll stick with Arnold and wait for their GPU version.
Not sure when Arnold's GPU will be out though, do you know anything about it?
.
Not really. Just know that they've been working on it and making progress...
hey, first of all, awesome tut, i love your voice ! However my C4d crashes everytime i try to link the utility tab to the beauty pass. Is there a way i can fix this ?
Only thing I can think of is to update or downgrade Arnold and see if it helps.
Hello! I'm new to motion design. Could you please tell me where to get the scene from?

but do you do weddings though ?
I could try to make a wedding tutorial...
