Great videos my dude. Blender's compositor according to the roadmap will be getting some much needed improvements soon, fingers crossed we get a transform moveable widget in the image editor view :D love these videos!
details that you will not care about only when you need them, i love this tutorial, its one of the best and its so full of informations, thank you so much, ill use this tips for sure i already need them
those of you wondering where the denoise feature went in 2.9 you can now get to it by going to the render property's tab then going to cycles and under sampling there is a denoise checkbox to automatically denoise
it is possible to apply the ffex that Ineed in the compositing with a clip loaded on the "video editing"??? I meant.. I add a movie clip in my "video editing" then I go to Compositing... ? iti work with clips animation or only image? thanks
Denoising is seperate from the render engine. The Open Image Denoise functionality is now utilized from a different part of the interface. Therefore, yeah, my instructions on denoising are a bit outdated now.
Amort, I've just found you today. You are really great! Thanks for this video. A question: At the 'Render Properties' tab there is a 'Denoise' option both for Viewport and Render. Is denoising with nodes still necesseary then?
Hello, I am looking to make a precise effect with the sun beams, I make a vehicle and I would like to limit the effects of the sun beams, did you know how I will do? Thank you very much!
For denoising..THere is a option in Render Propertis DENOISING tab.then RENDER i check that box..And my picture render imidieltly with out denoise but slower render
The denoising checkbox only appears when using the cycles render engine. That being said, Blender has been simplified since I releaced this tutorial, and now is easily activated by going to Render Properties/Sampling/Denoising, and checking the render box there. I use the OpenImageDenoise option, but if you have an nvidia RTX GPU, Optix might work better for you.
Thank You for this tutorial i was looking for a video that had this kind of information and i could not find it . I'am barely starting in blender and i;m kind of young . So this video really helped me thank you .
I haven't dome a side-by-side comparison, but I believe they're the same, except the compositor denoise only uses open image denoise and the "sampling denoise" offers other options. As far as I know, the sampling denoise was implimented in newer versions of Blender to make denoising easier to use compared to setting up the denoising nodes in the compositor.
Do you just like the results from brightening an image with the color ramp better than using the brightness and contrast node? I may have to compare the results from the two nodes and see how they differ if you haven't experimented with that. I also found it interesting that you used color mode instead of multiply to color the lens dirt. Thanks for the demo.
I use the color ramp node because it gives you much greater control than the brightness and contrast node. The multiply transfer mode essentially makes the bright parts of the image transparent whereas the color mode applies the color evenly from one image to another regardless of brightness.
Probably the best Blender compositing video on the web. I learned SO much. Going to watch again, follow along and take notes. An incredible resource. Subscribed. THANK YOU!
I think you could still use the denoise node in the compositor, but Eevee doesn't have the same kind of noise that Cycles does, so I don't think it'd work that well. You could maybe try adding grain in the compositor, followed by the denoise node.
It's still in the same place for me. There's a chance the Windows version of Blender puts that button on the bottom edge instead of the top edge of the compositor window. I've seen inconsistency like that before.
It seems RUclips abbreviated the link. If you click on it it works, but if you copy and paste the text, it doesn't. Maybe it won't get abbreviated in a comment. Try this link. www.actionvfx.com/collections/free-lens-dirt-overlays
Anyone knows how to enable this condensed look of options in light tab in render setting instead of checkboxes from top to bottom which I have scroll to infinity?
Make sure the dirt texture is going into the bottom input of the mix node. I know it seems backwards, but for some reason, the image you want on top needs to go in the bottom input.
This is a great video. Thank you so much! I'm just now getting into compositing, and I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm looking for a way to have the lights influence render layers differently. For example, I want my background to be fully influenced by the lights, while the characters are only 50% influenced... Is something like this possible?
I think you need to structure your Blender project to use scene layers and within each scene layer have collections of objects/lights/etc. that you can utilize the "Indirect Only" function.
I used a smoke simulation for that. The simulation domain has to be fairly large, to accommodate the path of the vehicle and the distance the smoke travels due to the wind. Other than that, just allign an emitter object with each wheel and parent them to the car. The "smoke amount" (or whatever it's actually called) will have to be keyframed so the dust stops when the car stops. This is all done within Blender using the fire/smoke simulation called mantaflow. If you search for mantaflow tutorials, you'll find a lot of them right here on RUclips.
I've done a few tests and found that it may be difficult to do in cycles without a few hacks (if your goal is to actually simulate the seperation of light through a prism). Rendering using the free 3rd party render engine LuxCore might make this effect easier, but I'm not familiar enough with it to achieve good results.
at 0:30 how did you achieve this effect? I feel like this could be a really interesting way to achieve a claymation/stop-motion effect, but I can't seem to replicate what you made. Using 1 sample in cycles with denoise in the compositor
In case Blender doesn't enable it by default, in the render properties tab, go into the advanced options and make sure the "use animated seed" option is enabled. It's the little clock icon. That will randomize the noise pattern for every frame giving it that "shake".
@@AmortMedia you should do a vid on ppl like me who can do advanced photoshop/after fx/element 3d but stuck at the next stage. How to learn this blender or 3d. These are huge pieces of kit and it can be overwhelming to sift thru certain aspects. Cheers
@@RobbertScholten blender 2.8 actually blocks off really old gen GPU's and wont work at all, but he should really consider an upgrade since a 400$ laptop would beat the hell out of whatever he has rn
As a photographer I want to remove that lens dispersion or as it is called in photography, chromatic abbreviation. As a 3D artist I want to add it in.
That's the truth.
Great videos my dude. Blender's compositor according to the roadmap will be getting some much needed improvements soon, fingers crossed we get a transform moveable widget in the image editor view :D love these videos!
Thanks!
Finally!! This is exactly what I've been looking for! Subscribed for more Blender compositing videos. Keep it up! :)
Thanks!
I'm awake at 2:30 AM and I'm not proud of this

Dude how do I get that RGB color split that you've got in background?
That's just some intense lens dispersion. To match that look set the Dispersion value to 0.200 in the Lens Distortion compositing node.
Thanks for the input. You have my like Greetings
Thanks for watching!
thanks bro, also make more and more videos
when come utubers back to normal videos without heaps of xyz musics under their int videos? :)

Thumbs up man. Great vid
Thanks!
The lens distort always seems to make my cycles result grainy, almost as if it's undoing the denoising. Any advice on that?
Are you using the new method of denoising or the old method that I describe in the video?
@@AmortMedia I've tried both and it gives me a noisy result regardless
In the lens distortion node, make sure the "jitter" box is unchecked.
@@AmortMedia thank you so much, you're a hero
The Denoise is I think useless because there's cycles x now correct me if I'm wrong

The denoising node is the old way to do it. The denoise option in the render properties tab is the correct method currently.
MOOOOORE. please.
Perfection👌...just what I wanted
awesome
Such a great video. Amazing. I have learnt a lot in the compositor. I only knew about denoise.

0:29 I actually really like this effect haha Is there any way to achieve this in eevee? I don't think the denoise options are available in eevee

@@AmortMedia thanks 😁 I’ve been using blender 3 years and have never used Cycles , maybe I need to dive into it
more please.. i think just a few BlenderTubers speak about Conp
Why aren‘t there all this options on my render layers node? There are just 3 outputs.
Go to the layer properties tab and check the denoising data box. Example in the video at 0:39
Thank you a lot , yes make one more
the option of "use nodes" are gone? What should I do to get that option to pop up? thanks!!
It's still in the same place for me. There's a chance the Windows version of Blender puts that button on the bottom edge instead of the top edge of the compositor window. I've seen inconsistency like that before.

How to did you add a render window over the compositing?
If you're referring to the "current result" window that pops up at 6:15, that was added in post in Adobe Premiere.
Very cool
Do you know other place i can grab the lens distortion overlays? The webpage seems down :(

can we do deep compositing in blender ???

at 0:30 how did you achieve this effect? I feel like this could be a really interesting way to achieve a claymation/stop-motion effect, but I can't seem to replicate what you made. Using 1 sample in cycles with denoise in the compositor
Render with denoiser and also render with 1-5 samples in cycles. I dint think this looks good in any other case tho except obv for the clay/stop,otion
In case Blender doesn't enable it by default, in the render properties tab, go into the advanced options and make sure the "use animated seed" option is enabled. It's the little clock icon. That will randomize the noise pattern for every frame giving it that "shake".
