this this this this this this this this

if you're not doing basic comp at the very least, you're doing things WRONG

>>1009885
the unfortunate part is that nuke has such a chokehold on 3d comp that most learning resources are devoted to it
and i don't want to give my computer foundry-aids by even installing a NC
fusion's enough for my needs though and chatgpt's been decent at telling me what nodes are equivalent to nuke

Do you mean throwing fog glow on everything?

>>1009904
The less you see, the better

>>1009904
soft glow + depth haze + depth blur = 2x renders in 3 steps

>>1009910
this is the way

>use this same comp chain that 90% of others use via youtube tutorials
no thanks

Unironically yes.
Glow, lens dirt, lens distortion, vingnetting, color grading, noise. All on 1 AOV, the beauty pass.

Compositing as a workflow was developed because the need to tweak the final image without spending the hours necessary to rerender.

At the end of the day pixels are pixels.

>>1009883 (OP)
What are some genuinely good resources to learn compositing.
Preferrably something more general rather than software-based.

>>1009883 (OP)
can resolve do deep compositing?

Ok let's go then, I'm hobbyist gamedev so I could use that for cinematics and shit

>>1010348
My fucking sides are in a collision course with the iss.

They just announced deep support for fusion 20
Better support for multilayer exrs in general too
