Gobo on V-ray light

[lukas_kostka]

Hi, I need help with applying a gobo texture to V-ray light, just a bw image, is there a way? To cast shadows on an object. Somehow i can't figure it out, applying texture to small area light does not work.

Hello lukas_kostka,

We have an article, explaining how to do that for V-Ray for 3ds Max, which you can find here. You can follow the same steps in V-Ray for Cinema4D as well. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you, this works, but when I change the light color the light remains white. Maybe it could be solved with VRaySoftbox map as you mention in Max tutorial, but I cannot find it in Vray5 for C4D. Can you help me where to find it? Thank you.

Hello lukas_kostka,

Please note that the V-Ray Softbox shader is not available in V-Ray 5 for Cinema4D. It is only available in V-Ray 6 for Cinema4D beta. You can find more information about the shader here.
