Anime Motion Blur techniques

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, In : General

Hey all!

So, yesterday's video in the BNPR group on Facebook was an interesting result and I'd like to kinda share the process a bit and what I'm thinking. I uploaded it to YT unlisted for you:

The image below shows how to create a very simple sub for slow parent. It does not have a falloff - it is a 1:1 vector delay. You can think of it as the old Nokia3310 version of Snake. For a huge share of animation sequences that don't depend on the NLA, this method should be ...

For Anime - Defocus

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Friday, August 18, 2017, In : Tutorials

Hey all!

Finally, after a while, I am able to upload another tutorial for you all to enjoy! I am so thankful to have been blessed and enabled to share this one with you guys!

GOD is so good!

- Why another Defocus node
While Blender already has a defocus node, there are problems with it that I just can't seem to get over. The primary problem is that it blurs the inside of a shape, but not the outside of it when it is out of focus. This is physically incorrect and makes the result hideous (s...

Workflow - Node Groups

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Monday, March 27, 2017, In : Tutorials

Hey all!

About a week ago, I got some comment on YouTube from a user called: CNR Games. He was very excited about the Node Groups I was using in the Compositing: Toon Shading with Soft Shadows tutorial.

A little progress report

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, February 18, 2014, In : wip

Hey everyone!!

Today I get to share a little progress shot from something I'm currently working on:

Currently, this looks more like a caustics study, but actually the scene as it sits is exactly that! It's part of prep work. The ocean floor is right (in terms of distance and possibly color) and so is a lot of the compositing. It has an old-style photo feel that I am really really liking so far.

Now, when I post something, I want it to benefit you, so I want to give you some sort of help. Today, ...

Boost a render

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Thursday, September 19, 2013, In : Tips

Hey all!

Writing these tips take a whole lot longer than I thought they would, hahaha. Today's is a quick one, but wow, can it boost a render!

Many times, we have a render that just does not cooperate. Though it looks cool, it still ends up being a bit too dark, like this one:

In these instances, we need a level boost of Brightness and Contrast, but there is a node for Hue Saturation and Value. Value is a great level booster of the Brightness and Contrast. You can find it under the Color categor...
