The best way to have an effect of dappled leaves or cookieloris..

montrealfilmguy

so basically something in the store that i could create a pattern of leaves on a face in the forest, for example..

And a 3d effect, not just an overlay that doesnt follow the face contours..

 

thanks y'all.

Get a tree from your library and position it out of shot  between your subject and the light.

yes i did try that first. Its not obvious to have a single branch out of a tree to cast a shadow on a face.

Im thinking a much quicker solution must be available.

like a gel light

you could use an opacity map on a plane between the character and the light source as that is what a cucoloris actually is
