STYLIZED DEPTH OF FIELD IN COMPOSITING - Blender compositing for NPR Part 3
Stylizing how your backgrounds loose information when they get out of focus is key for NPR. And that's for sure a compositing task! In this chapter we cover the different nodes that can be used to defocus in compositing, the math behind the depth of field effect and how to achieve some crazy stylized DOF effects. Enjoy!

    Random newbie question; with all of the effects from the Blender compositor intact, is it still possible to compile passes and color grade in another program like DaVinci Resolve?

    • @homspau
      @homspau День тому

      Absolutely. Not only color grading, but you can export a multipass EXR containing every pass you want and composite in Nuke, Fusion or Natron for example :)

    Amazing! I'm curious if you have any thoughts on stylized painterly motion blur. I've come pretty close to getting it but it always jitters

    • @homspau
      @homspau День тому

      I think there's a good case for - when making something more painterly - removing motion blur altogether. Or, if you're imitating some 2D animation/Comic book references, maybe using multiples or speed lines which could be painted or actual geometry instead of being comp based. That being said, if you want to stylize comp motion blur, you can either use the vector blur or distort nodes for that. When plugged into the vector input they will act in the direction of your object's movement. If you multiply this vector renderpass by some noise, you restrict it to the edges or do anything you want before plugging it into any node, it should give interesting results without flickering!

    • @homspau
      @homspau День тому

      You mean the Rain example? I did some relighting there. I'm not planning to do a tutorial on comp relighting (yet!). The reason for that is that Blender won't support vector math for the compositor. There's some hacky ways to go around it but I don't think it's worth teaching such an inefficient workflow. But the moment this changes, I'll cover it for sure!

    • @dessguy7199
      @dessguy7199 День тому

    • @homspau
      @homspau День тому

      @dessguy7199 you mean the comp based rim light, right? Because the rest of the treatment is going to be covered in this video. For the normal based rim light I had to create my own "vector rotate" node out of float math nodes to rotate the normals. It's very cumbersome for such a basic function and that's why I won't make a video on it. Still, if you're very interested in this, DM me in any of my socials and I'll share some insights when I have a moment :)

    The AOV is especially interesting. It means one could make all sorts of shader-based masks to perform corrective/localized compositor effects. Are there any limitations? Thank you for this tutorial!

    • @homspau
      @homspau 2 дні тому

      It is cool! It's especially useful if you're working on a short film and will reuse the same assets in multiple shots. Creating masks within the asset is tremendously useful and can save you a lot of time. The only thing that I can think of, and isn't really a limitation, is that if you want to make shot wide edits based on masks set by Shader AOVs every material would have to have those AOV output nodes in. In a scene with lots of materials and/or references, it can be painful to set up or update. That can be circumvented by creating a separate view layer with a material override, with a single material containing all the AOVs. This only works in Cycles, though. Thanks for the comment!

  • @Dexter01992
    @Dexter01992 6 днів тому

    Amazing tutorial so far! I'm now playing in the compositor and exploring possibilities now that I know some basics. The only doubt I need to ask, in the rim light, there's the current issue that once the border of the frame or another object gets in front of the subject (from the side the effect it's meant to be visible) making use of the translated mask, it creates an extremely ugly vertical line passing along the entire item, as it is moving the mask *after* it defined there's something in front of it. Do you have any suggestions to avoid this? I tried multiplying the mask with the light pass, so that it's visible only where it is being illuminated. It helps, but the lines are obviously still there the more the model has light on top.

    • @homspau
      @homspau 6 днів тому

      Very clever solution! To truly fix this, the way to go are render layers (aka view layers in blender). This won't work in the viewport compositor, but separating the character, the set, and any objects that are in the foreground in different layers, Stylizing them and then comping all the layers on top of eachother should fix it. It's the proper way to do it

    • @Dexter01992
      @Dexter01992 6 днів тому

      @@homspau I see, and it makes sense. I wonder if blender's "scenes" allows to link animations (like the camera movements, or positions of meshes) so that you can set up multiple combinations of visible assets to send into the compositor... I need to try this. Looking forward to the next part of the tutorial! ^^

    • @homspau
      @homspau 6 днів тому

      @Dexter01992 That's exactly what view layers are for. Without the need of splitting your scene into multiple ones, you can create different view layers where different objects are visible/hidden. Plus, you can make any object/collection be invisible to camera but still visible to other objects (so it casts indirect light and shadows) and making them a holdout (so that when one object ocludes another, they matte eachother out). I encourage you to dig a bit in that direction. It really is the solution to what you're facing :)
