Blender 4.2 can use GPU for Compositing. You can turn it on by pressing T in the Compositing window, going to Options, and changing the device from CPU to GPU.

This is cool! Another thing I like to do to simulate halation is splitting the image color into RGB, slightly blurring the red and the green channel, and then combining it again. You get that classic reddish bloom around strong lights by simulating how light interacts with the film.

I've watched this video so many times now. I've been looking for this kind of compositing workflow for so long and this was so easy to follow and understand. I can't wait to see what else you come up with! I'd love to see how you take an EXR multilayer image like you showed how to get to the beauty pass in Davinci and to see how you do your workflow there as well to get the film/lens look. Keep up the great work!

That is so cool! Ever since the viewport compositor was a thing this has been what I was doing so much! Developing a look in realtime while still modelling is just really fun to do. And I always wanted to create that film look in the viewport! Man, I can't wait till render passes will become a real thing in the viewport compositor, hopefully in both eevee and cycles

For the halation, you should kill the effect with a reversed ramp in the fully white areas. halation affects only the darks zones of the film when there is a very bright light on the side. the light is "pouring" on the film from the light zone to the dark (especially for the red, as you said), and it shows only on the dark areas. as every other colors are captured normally in the brightest areas, you shouldn't increase the red values in those (the light itself doesn't turn red, is what I try to say). This will result in a physically accurate halation. ...but to be honest, if you are serious about your delivery, let's do this inside davinci anyway :D

Aside from being able to adjust in post without having to re-render, is there a reason you're using the Lens Distortion node instead of just rendering with distortion in the first place using a fisheye lens? I find that I'd rather avoid stretching pixels for a final render and the fisheye lens looks a lot better. Just curious :) I like stacking two glare nodes. The first one has a high threshold with a low size. The second is has a lower threshold (sometimes just 0) and the highest size. I'm definitely going to give the halation emulation a shot though!

Great tutorial on the compositor, EDIT - you can set compositor to be GPU if you are using the latest 4.2 LTS version. It is in Render Tab - Performance - Compositor - Device (cpu or gpu, cpu by default). Another note, in the same area you can choose auto precision or full., auto is half detail in compositor but full detail in image render. I usually leave this on auto

Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial. Just a quick question (i'm learning so bare with me). I've set my whole compositor up like your render like the big boys, so all file output and OpenEXR Multilayer etc. Would I add these nodes to this node setup? Or is that node setup (the big boys) only usefull for animation renders? I make both stills and animations. Thanks again, learning a lot!
@robinsquares
@robinsquares 4 ай бұрын
If you're rendering like the big boys, you probably don't want to use Blender for compositing, so this whole video is sort of irrelevant. You'd want to do this process in Fusion, Nuke, or (if you're feeling masochistic) After Effects. This workflow is more for smaller projects where you don't want the extra steps, and want the render to look finished straight out of Blender. Though if you really wanted to combine the workflows, you would render like the big boys, open the render in a fresh compositor, do the "back to beauty" process, and add all this to the very end of the graph.

It seems strange to me, having a background in film, that the bleach bypass node comes before the lens effects, as bleach bypass was/is a method employed during film development, which would come after the image had gone through the lens. Was just curious how you came to find it should go first in the chain.

Oky but I'm still sort of stupid in your 'how the big boys render' you separate everything and then stick it all back together later so do you just stick this at the end of your last node group from you last vid or do you make a new scene to add this effect to the final image of your last effect
@robinsquares
@robinsquares 4 ай бұрын
The "correct" workflow is to render everything out separately like I showed in that video, then import the files into a new scene, where you do the "back to beauty" compositing. Then, finally, you add this to the very end. BUT for "proper" projects, I don't composite in Blender at all. I use Resolve and Fusion. This workflow is for quick projects that just need to look fine straight out of Blender.

There's no built-in single node for it, that's true, but if you turn on the built-in Amaranth addon (or install it in 4.2+), you'll see a new Templates menu option appear in the topbar of the compositor. Select the node in the chain that you want to add a vignette to, then go to that dropdown and click Vignette. It'll automatically setup the nodes for vignetting for you.

Or adding the passpartout slider in the right-click menu when in a camera. Random stuff like that.

I didn't explain it very well. Basically, light in Blender gets really bright. A sun has a value of like 100. But the compositor works best in a range of 0-5 ish. So it's a way of clamping down super bright pixels. If you don't do it, some effects don't turn out great.

@@robinsquares You wouldn't be able to use the exposure/looks in the color management tab like you did in this video though, those are broken in the Render Raw workflow that Lampel uses. Your workflow above places all your edits before the AgX transform so the Exposure/Looks menu is in play. If you combined this setup with Lampel's, you'd need to move some nodes before the manual color transform, and most others after, which might alter/break the stylistic look you've achieved here. You can see Lampel's rough node setup at 8:05 in his video to see what I mean.
