Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to recreate a typical “render distance” effect from video games in Cinema 4D using Redshift, where objects gradually fade out as they get further away from the camera.

Unfortunately, I can’t get it to work properly. I’ve tried using camera distance in the shader to drive opacity, but the result is either too abrupt or just doesn’t behave the way I expect.

I’d like to avoid volumetric fog because of the render times, so I’m looking for a lightweight, shader-based solution instead.

Has anyone here done something like this before and maybe has a sample scene or node setup they could share? That would really help me understand how to set this up correctly.

Thanks a lot!

Ich finde diesen Effekt das die Umgebung des Autos wie ein lidar Scan aussieht und dann mit diesen Licht Impulsen gehighlighted wird voll spannend. Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich sowas in Cinema 4d versuchen könnte?
