love you, this help me tremendously!

Great video, loved the way you teach....your voice is similar to ryan reynolds....

Much appreciated man. You helped a lot

it's too hard😂

Thank you so much, subscribed!!!!

WTF is wrong with you?! just Explain your method and cry later!!!

yeah but i cant send it on discord.

A weird thing I've found is image packing doesn't work with the VSE, so you always need to keep those source images handy. Have you played around with this at all?

Thank you so much!!

i love you man you have a lot of chaos in you

There is a different method for directly copying the weights off the parent mesh for clothing items. which is better for things you want to export for use in a game or game engine. DTM is good for doing animations and photography within blender itself. I use DTM a lot while modeling hard surfaces to get normal data from the point of intersection of a shrink wrap modifier used to merge two objects without actually merging their geometry. Great for design concepting where parts may need to shift around, but you need to be able to render out "finished" looking sample shots.

Thank you for these tutorials!

Same applies with volumetrics. I needed to apply the alpha only to the foreground layer, and composite over the background. Then finally add the volumetrics over top of everything. This just seemed to work automatically in Blender with Alpha Over, however took me ages to figure out in Davinci Resolve.

"Don't use 'screen'." Me, looking in Photoshop blending options, "Okay, then what do you suggest? Linear Dodge (Add)?"

good knowledge but I think this video needs some editing. It's long

thank you for the tips, now i wanna ask. after i exported it as the 2 png files its working fine when i put a background behind it in after effects, but how do i export it as a video with the bloom & without the black background? i need it as a visualizer object in Resolume for my Stage Visuals that requires the background to constantly change but the animation is still moving and transparent.

Jiminy cricket! You put in an incredible amount of time and energy to learn about this stuff, then create the video, and then decide to make it so much less useful by making dumb jokes over and over again and never actually getting down and teaching the stuff you know in a straightforward and consistent manner. I learned a few things watching, but I know I left a lot on the table because you spent time f-ing around when you could have spent that time giving fully fleshed-out examples and actually explaining things. I think I'd rather read the manual you insist on constantly making fun of. I'm so frustrated!

Is this written with ai? Some of the wording and jokes are incredibly off beat, and not in a “it’s a bad joke” way, more like a “this doesn’t seem like it was written by a human” way

Great tutorial! Thanks! This is how I feel frequently. Like, the programmers sat around thinking, "How can we make this simple thing more complicated"? I spend so much time just looking for that one setting that I know exists because I've used it before, but I can't remember where the hell it is! "What menu is that thing in?? I just selected it!" Turns out that setting only shows up when some other option is checked. Like Path Guiding! It's only available when using CPU rendering! I didn't know that. I thought I was losing my mind. It wasn't in any menu. WHY? Because I had checked GPU rendering instead. Lots of things are like this. There was something else like this recently that was baffling me. Wasted a lot of time. Blender is incredible, but it's incredibly frustrating as well. Thanks!

damn you yap alot

Very good content, thank you!

Bro..... you are so.. so... so.... boring 😴

It took you 13 freaking minutes, just to tell us to use a black background with the Add blending mode. Props to you for figuring out something Photoshop users use every day but that 13 minute build up was completely unnecessary. Jesus, was that long...

This tutorial is fantastic! You absolutely hit the spot with your comments about the Blender documentation, although this is true of many programs. I just hope the folks at Blender see this! Blender is a fantastic program, but it is badly let down, even held back, by bad documentation, obscure command naming and nonsense pop-up comments. The revelation for me was at 15 minutes, when after joining the skeleton and mesh you applied the smooth command with multiple iterations, I just tried this on a dinosaur model I have been having 'joint' problems with and, after adjusting the feet the creature is moving better than ever! Thank you so much! I have always avoided the weight painting menu but this one command is a god send. Please do a similar video about the truly awful NLA editor. Which is even more obscure than weight painting and the Data Transfer Modifier!

bro wasted 11 minutes of my life

Brilliant. Thank You. LIKED!!! All of a sudden my VSE editor become unusable/so ridiculously slow. No idea why, it was painful and this really helped. Cheers.

This be genious!

I love this video so much! Great work! Thank you!

omg too long video for the transparency bloom

Well this video could have wrapped in 2 mins ...if not for your bs talk on others. And that would have been way better!

broskey did NOT need to hype us up just for a data transfer toturial

One thing which you'd lose though is the Ctrl+Shift+LeftClick functionality which connects the hovered node to the viewer node (there's also O for the composite node, but then your muscle memory is broken) However you can get the best of both worlds by instead of opening the image "Render Result", you can open the image "Viewer Node" which does the exact same but instead shows the output from the viewer node. I also took my own spin on the final layout you showed and decided to abandon the file browser, since on windows I can drag-and-drop from my second monitor anyway, and instead put another image editor for the viewer node there. Now I can use the left window to utilize the viewer node as usual without the clutter and at the same time still have the image editor for the render result on the right next to it to see my final image. Sometimes I also switch out an editor for the 3d view and use the realtime compositor feature. Now you can essentially dual-wield compositor previews, hope that helps.

I can't get this to work for some reason, the render is always blank (unless i actually render),

10 minutes of yapping and not getting to the point is one thing that annoys me with these youtube dudes

Sure sure, but does this program you mention do also animations or png sequences? I'd hate to do that with 200 plus frames

😂🤣😂🤪❤❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

From blender user to blender users, if you go to Preferences -> Interface -> Editors -> Temporary Editors -> Render In, you can set F12 to autmatically go to the image viewer in your current layout, or just set your current wndow to image viewer. Could save a few clicks ;)

The only thing the composite node does is write to the internal "Render Result" Image Data Block. Meanwhile the only thing the viewer node does is write to the internal "Viewer Node" Image Data Block. The practical difference is, that the Composite node determines which nodes are being used (all that come before), so a composite node is always needed for compositing. The "Backdrop" option just looks into the "Viewer Node" image data. These two nodes aren't so different after all. You can set up any image editor to display the Render Result or Viewer Node Data-Block respectively. I use both nodes in my workflow to compare the final output to other parts of the node tree, which makes work more straightforward for me. I enjoyed seeing how you set up your compositor! Thanks for sharing these tips and tricks

Eyyy I need music from that cute spy. Please 🥺🥺 that ewoke something nostalgic within. I beg you... Btw... This video is what I needed right now. My project is 30GB+ so I had to render in CommandLine so dealing with compositor was...terrible...but now. Man.. 🙏 thanks

My main issue with viewwer node is that it overwrites the preview shortcut (ctrl+shift+left click) and pressing it doesn't output the preview onto that separate window where final render is and I have to always manually plug my nodes into "Composite" output

Want another challenge? Try making an item glow without effecting the look of its surface. I'm trying to make a moss node glow, but it "white out"s the surface textures.

this explains how to get a PNG but not an animation in bloom..

why dont just give the right thing to do

too much intro

Search for this solution for a whole night, thank you so much!

damn you were really mad about bloom. glad im a beginner and your video was the first one I saw THNX

great tutorial

Thank you so much. The deadline today, last minute changes from client... you pulled me out of a whole i was many hours into 😂

Ok so this only work if you have a background? But what if I just want it to have the glare/bloom but transparent (I do not want to use any background). Basically my goal & point is to make a GIF so yes the background will be needed to be transparent but maintaining the glare/bloom effect. And my question is if there's a way to use this to make transparent animation/GIF ?

thank you!
