Facer FX releases new tutorial

Tue, July 11 2008 09:38:00 GMT

This tutorial will show you how to get Z-Depth and fog in compositing out of the same render pass. It will also show you how to tweak your fog without having to go back and re-render from your 3d package. The tutorial is aimed at beginner to intermediate level compositors. The technique for getting Z-Depth and fog from the same render pass is not recommended for all situations but is definitely helpful if you have limited resources and cannot afford to render passes for both.
