Hey all!
This test took the whole day to polish to the point where it is now and I am so jazzed with the result. It also kinda turned into an artsy thing, hehe.
Anyhow, hope you enjoy it!
Have a great one!

Unfortunately, this was not 2.8 - there are as of yet no masking features for Eevee, so this is quite impossible without rendering everything separately and layering it, which is really not practical. This was done with Blender Render, 2.79b.
Do note that this should be possible in Cycles.

![Glows - Types and uses [Tutorial]
Hey all!
Yay for another tutorial. I totally forgot about doing one, because my attention has been on Exodus and a ton of other things. So thankful to finally have this one done (had it on the list for quite a while, haha).
The best part about these glow effects is that most of them can be done with both Cycles and Blender Render. The only one that stands out for me as being extremely difficult to achieve, is the mech glow. Cycles lamps dont work as loosely as Blender Renders does (a pity from an NPR standpoint, but understandable).
So, a few links:

The footage from the examples comes from Exodus 7-12, KJV. It is a project I am working on that visually handles those chapters. Im still a long way from done, but I try to vlog as often as possible. I havent in a while, but there is a HUGE amount of information in them on how to achieve certain looks and so on - plus theyre just fun and interesting to watch!

Hey all!
Yay! Tutorial time again!
Tutorial result available on CGT:

This one was requested by uook cross. They asked me on the original Action Lines tutorial (link below) how it would be done in Eevee. I was intrigued by the question and thankfully, was led to also give it a shot and the demo video really got some attention:

I am hugely grateful to everyone that comments! Its really great to see the videos reach people and that they make a difference! I hope you guys enjoy this one even more!!
Pardon if I went a little fast in this one. Im still trying to take it down a notch, hehe. If you feel I am going to fast, reduce the playback speed a bit.

Please please please be aware that Blender 2.8 (or 3) is not done yet and is not exactly production ready. If you use the current version, save it along with your files so that if you ever want to go back to them, they still function properly.
