hello
Is there a tutorial for creating a laser beam that, when it hits a wall, is reflected in the opposite direction of the incident angle?
This doesn’t have to be a laser beam, it can also be a particle that bounces off the wall at the correct angle.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi tsc,

Would this work for your project?

I have set the Alpha> Gradient to World, so it works in the setup where the wall is.
Uee the “Rotate_Me!” Null to adjust eh angle.

If you need something else, please let me know.

Cheers

P.S.: This does it on purpose https://rocketlasso.com/ricochetinfo/

Hi Dr. Sassi

Attachments were opened and reflections were rendered.
Thank you.

However, I don’t know where to set Alpha> Gradient to World.
I just started C4D, can you help me?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi tsc,

The laser was just a symmetry effect, I’m glad it worked for.

Yes, of course, I can share that. It is relatively easy when you know what these numbers are that determine the gradient. To make it simple, here is a one-minute clip for you (no audio).

Let me know if that that helps.

Enjoy

Hi Dr. Sassi

Thank you for the very easy-to-understand movie.
Even a beginner could understand it and it was helpful.
It seems that you can create Mokutechino CG with this.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

You’re very welcome, tsc!

My best wishes for your project.
