holograms are widely used in sci-fi movies and animations they are a good way of adding some
lighting to otherwise dark scenes hi there welcome to another blender tutorial where i'll be showing
you how to create a hologram effect first off switch to the shader viewport and delete the
principled bsdf shader then add a noise texture node a math node and an emission shader node
this subset of notes will create some noisy lighting for the hologram
now add a mixjader note and a transparent bsdf shader node along with a texture coordinate node
a separate xyz node and a color ramp node
this subset of nodes will make the hologram lighting become more faint towards the top
next step add another mix shader note and an emission shader node
along with a geometry node a layer weight node and a color ramp node
this subset of nodes will give more depth to the hologram by lighting up
the faces that are facing sideways from the camera
now add yet another mix shader node this time with a bevel node the geometry node
a vector math node a color ramp node and an emission shader node
be sure to set the vector math node to calculate the dot product of the two inputs this subset of
nodes will highlight the edges of the hologram model and make its details more visible
next add another mix shader node along with wave texture node and a transparent bsdf shader node
this subset of nodes will make the hologram look as if being constructed by horizontal scan lines
before we move on let me know in the comments if you like these quick tutorials and want to
see more you can also support my journey by sharing this video with your sci-fi
loving friends and subscribing to the channel
now switch to the compositor viewport and select the use nodes option then add a viewer node and
render your scene using the shortcut f12 to see the post-processed background image
then add a glare node and set it to fog glow to get a glowing effect around the hologram
and there you have it a complete hologram effect that you can use to beautify and
enrich your sci-fi scenes i hope you have found this tutorial helpful thank you for watching
till the end of the video my name is cena and i hope to see you again soon until then take care
