  • I've just downloaded 2.5 and am a complete novice ( come on now, no sniggering at the back ). The next thing I did was subscribe to this channel. So with the help of you good people. Yes ! Thats you Richard and you're dad, thank you for all these quite brilliant videos...G...

  • @TheGmcFilms Congrats on getting started with Blender! 2.5 is finally out of beta, so it is a good place to start. How do you plan to use Blender?

  • Great tutorial! Would it be possible using this technique to have an object fade in/fade out of an animated scene?

    Many thanks for your wonderfully clear tutorials :)

  • @prchkkizhe7 You're welcome! One way to fade in/out is by using the Time node for input to an alpha or fac.

  • Hy,

    I have a problem with your technic. There is an object (and only this object) that I want to be blurred in my scene, and this object goes behind other not blurred objects. When I use layer nodes, I can't blur the object past his z-depth of alpha map over other objects.

    What should I do ?

  • @rewii93 What you are doing is not what we are showing. If I understand you correctly, to do what you want, make sure the objects are on different render layers. When in doubt, try it with 2.49b to make sure you're not hitting a bug. If that fails, post to the blenderartists(dot)com forum.

  • Thanks for the tut guys... In all my years of using 3D software compositing has been an after thought... I need to bone up on it more and this tutorial has got me to messing with it... Thanks for the help! keep it up!

  • @bitsofblender

    Thank you for your reply and a brilliant suggestion! I see the Time Node allows for a non-linear effect, which is exactly what I was looking for. :)

  • @PeterDraculic Thanks!
