Great tutorial👍 but that is not just an awesome keyboard, but one of the first home computer a awesome gaming computer the Commodore 64 that your dad probably had. 😊👍

[@REDPanti]

Wow its Great. finally. I use Cinema 4D and octane and now learning blender for future projects thanks for great tutorial

[@fesnaqvi2331]

Man, Jacob. I'll echo the sentiments from others. You really explain the process extremely well. There's tons of info here that other presenters will gloss over but you are thoughtful and extremely elaborate in your explanation. And the infographic was much needed. Please do more tutorials, of all levels. We all could learn a ton from you.

[@InLightVFX]

Thank you Fes, that's very encouraging to hear! I'm currently finishing a personal project but hope to make another tutorial soon!

[@zarkinfrood]

I'm really so impressed with this. So much information here, I'm going to have to go through this more than once to fully process it all. Amazing work!

[@InLightVFX]

I'm glad you dig it! I know I threw a lot out there. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@octimus2000]

Oof, it feels as if I had pirated a paid course. Really well done job!

[@InLightVFX]

I have a Patreon for those who feel so inclined :) Glad you like it!

[@shelila1643]

exemplar detail tut indeed ... nobody can beat this so far... hope it applies sooner the newer versions of blenders though...

[@red-.-red]

It's been a while since I've seen a tutorial this polished and well presented. Please make more.

[@InLightVFX]

Thank you, I hope to make more so stay tuned!

Best Blender Compositing Tutorial...! ( on Whole KZbin )

[@jascrandom9855]

WTF! This could completely pass as real! If you just show the final result and never say its CGI, nobody would realise it! Its Perfect!

[@InLightVFX]

Thanks, Jasc!

That's a whole computer, not just a keyboard

[@fesnaqvi2331]

He's too young to know! :P

[@WaterShowsProd]

I was going to comment the same thing. It's funny really because it doesn't look like any computer today, but that was the basic shape for many home computers in the 1980s, unless you had a Big Blue beige box. (Let 'em figure that one out.)

[@fabianf.2300]

oh boy.

[@anthonylosego]

That's not a whole computer, it's 1/100th of a Samsung refrigerator.

[@the_savinator101]

I didn't even notice until I read this comment hahaha

[@kumarthecowboy]

Woah i also didn't noticed

[@mindseyepr]

Dear Lord I had no idea VFX tutorials could even BE this good. Please make an entire series like this, charge a decent price (you're worth it) and just take my money.

[@InLightVFX]

Stay tuned... your wish may come true. And thank you :)

[@mindseyepr]

@@InLightVFX even though there was humor in my comment I was 100% serious. I've been looking for a high-quality blender series on photo-realistic CGI integration into live footage for YEARS. I just subscribed!

[@InLightVFX]

I've wished for that same thing, also for years. I'm working on something that will hopefully be exactly what you're looking for.@@mindseyepr

[@kumarthecowboy]

Are you serious.. this is perfect tutrial i ever found with covering every single detail. How is this available for free lol. Tbh i had to wrote down every point you said and rewind the video to understand better. It took me 30 mins to understand everything purrfectly. You are awesome.

[@AMVall-cr7fx]

I am a maya user but I find your tutorial very suitable for any 3d software user. Very optimized and professional!

[@jurgenvantomme]

Nice work and very well explained. I'm glad that you don't follow the speed up tutorial trend but take the time to explain it all. This way I learn more and it's easier to follow.

[@InLightVFX]

I'm glad to hear you appreciate the longer tutorial, Jürgen!

Superb work! I wish this would be doable without so many intermediate files but the final results with this method are worth the effort.

[@InLightVFX]

Thank you!

[@cinematicpath]

You have skills to teach! The clearest tuts I have found about layers!

[@InLightVFX]

Awesome, Maher!

[@zachpw]

Wow this is awesome. I loved how hype the music got towards the end haha

[@jamesdavis2027]

I can’t believe it took me this long to find you. The “quick tutorial” trend was great for entertainment and inspiration but not so great for a beginner. This is well explained and oh-so visually pleasing. Your narration and presentation skills are incredibly high, really defying the whole “if you can’t teach, do” stereotype. I expect to spend a little while binging everything you’ve made!

[@radekgrec1467]

I was struggling with CGI tutorial You mentioned for days, and I was near giving up my project but Bang! - I found Yours and Dude - You made a helluva job! Thanks a lot!

[@fiveoneecho]

You actually gave people some information about viewlayers and masking things! Came to see what was going on, stayed for the pleasure of watching a good tutorial. Very well done!

[@InLightVFX]

Thanks, Cole!

[@landgrenwilliam]

Most high quality tutorial I’ve ever seen! You have to make more

[@mrspecs9211]

haha, found u bro, love ur videos btw

[@Rinboz]

Hi, it's been 2 years since I watched this video. Back then I didn't really know 3D at all and I found this being the onl y tutorial that actually explained things in the way that made sense. It essentially kickstarted my curiosity and now my job is mix of 2D/3D workflow in gamedev. Thank you very much for bringing a cool thing to the world.

[@InLightVFX]

Wow! This is one of the coolest comments I've read. Thanks for coming back and letting me know all this time later. I'm happy you now get to work in the industry!

[@warriorstudios6635]

You are the best in VFX and composition in blender,i implement everything you said in both nuke and blender

[@beanieteamie7435]

This is literally gold How have I not seen this before?

[@chrismithone]

Fantastic tutorial, one of the best on compositing that i have ever seen. Please make more, specially shadows and reflections interacting between cg and the live action world.

[@InLightVFX]

I plan to do exactly that. Thinking right now on a whole tutorial just dedicated to shadows and the nuances that make them tricky. Reflections, too!

[@matchdance]

Some of the best tutorial

[@InLightVFX]

Thanks!

[@bomaryniuk3639]

Someone finally took on mysterious Blender compositor. Kudos! And extra kudos for awesome clean videos and infographics. I love the little details how arrow of the light bouncing is slightly darker to show that the light goes through the glass! 😍 Totally amazing.

[@carltonquine9277]

Subbed! How do you not have a million subs! Holy moly u r talented! Thank you so much!

[@barmetler]

This video is absolutely amazing! I didn't know anything about renderlayers before...

[@vidaroni]

Wow, this is the best intro to view layers I have come across! Excellent stuff!

[@InLightVFX]

View layers confused me for the longest time so I'm happy to hear this helped you make some sense of them, Vidar!

[@clintshelton3976]

Jacob.. THANK YOU! I was soooooooo stuck yesterday trying to put a simple object into my video and getting those reflections to show up. Going back to the Track Match Blend video series helped, but I couldn't transfer those hints over to 2.8. I drank another cup of coffee and prepared myself to watch 4 more hours of tutorials. I am so glad I clicked on yours first! Keep up the amazing work! It shows how much effort you put into this video. And providing a handy infographic!!! Your channel will get huge in no time. Peace

[@InLightVFX]

Wow, I'm so glad to hear that, Clint!

[@clintshelton3976]

@@InLightVFX Anytime! I'm looking forward to your next lessons!

[@Rinboz]

Thank you so much for putting this tutorial out there! It's an excellent resource. I'm a 2D artist who only know basic modeling, and gave up on 3D stuff because of the learning curve and I don't have time to start from scratch. This tutorial helps me understand that compositing in 2D and 3D aren't that different. Same lighting principles, same solution, just different engines. Though it will definitely take a while and so much of know how for someone entirely new to 3D to be able to come up with a solution this great for other problems that's as complex as this one.

[@IanLetarte]

Dang... this tutorial must have taken so long to make. Well done. Real good stuff. I'll be honest, I was thinking I'm just gonna skip through this 18min tutorial and get the good parts. It was all good parts though, so I didn't skip anything. :D

[@InLightVFX]

Ahh, thank you! I tried to trim out all non-essential info so I'm glad you feel that way.

[@jasonbull3094]

In all honesty a great tutorial. Coming from someone who is learning blender, this is awesome.

[@TheInfinites]

you made blender even more interesting. thank you so much! no one really talks or makes such in-depth tutorials on compositing in blender. this tutorial was a much-needed one. thanks again!

[@InLightVFX]

Awesome! Happy to hear that!

[@emanuelrototo8413]

Dude, so nice. I love this tutorial on so many levels. Not only do i now understand viewlayers and everything, but you made this so much approachable in every possible way. This looked so complicated at first. Not anymore!

[@InLightVFX]

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm happy to hear this helped in your understanding of those concepts. I struggled to understand them for the longest time and was trying to think of how I'd explain it to my past self. Glad it helped.

Very well curated, edited, explained tutorial... Top notch quality! You earned a sub!

Fantastic tutorial on compositing and render passes. At first glance I thought you rendered a CG glass in front of a Commodore computer, then when I saw it was the other way round I did a double-take! Great job.

[@Lalexdudixsept]

Wow, certainly one of the best tutorial I have ever watched so far! Bravo!

[@benjaminmuller9348]

This...this is amazing. You managed to explain something that looked pretty complex at first, extremely well, and the final render looks great! Really high quality tut right here. I'd love to see more VFX tuts in the future (also things like compositing in conjunction with projection mapping, masking, everything really), and how you approach complex VFX scenes (if you don't mind making more tutorials ;) )

[@InLightVFX]

Hey Benjamin, thanks so much! I will definitely be making more. Thank you for those suggestions, I will add them to the idea list and see if I can't cover them in future tutorials.

[@makuikui]

Luckly, it's called 'the main object' in the rest of the video.

[@Momi_V]

Great tutorial! I'm relatively new to Blender and had almost no idea of compositing or making souch a complicated mixed reality scene at all but felt like understanding almost everything. Will see how I do when attempting something like this at my own, but I'm definitely more confident now

[@InLightVFX]

Awesome! It's definitely no small task - even for a simple scene. Good luck!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Well done with that infographic, you have taken a lot of time to make it more clear to people. Though i do think i see a small error in the passes description. The diffuse, seems to be describing what roughness is. Diffuse, has 3 types and is mainly how its being lit by different light sources
