Michael de Meyer shows how to create a shadow play or shadow puppet look in C4D.

Shadow play, or also known as shadow puppetry, is a form of storytelling and entertainment that uses cut-out forms held between a light source and a translucent screen to create moving shadows.
Here, 3D artist Michael de Meyer shows how to create that shadow play effect using Cinema 4D and octane.

The light source in the tutorial takes on a unique look by using a sphere with an emissive material applied. The screen, or skrim, uses a paper texture that makes use of the transmission setting in the material. The result is a nice looking shadow play theatre look.
