Version 1.5 is now available!
In this video we will be looking at the Darkfall VFX Nodes Addon that I have recently been working on.
To download the Addon, check the link in the blog!
I created this addon in hopes that it would help speed up our workflow with certain tasks like - The Eye Color change, The glitch Effect, The Sketch Effect, The Patch and Clone node and more.
I should note that I am very new to Python and Scripting in general, so though it may not look pretty I hope to improve it and add more effects to this Addon in future versions.
Have you tried the VFX Nodes addon? let us know what you think in the comments below..
If you guys find this Addon useful, be sure to give this video a like and as always,

![Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : How to compose a Digital Matte Painting in 2.8 [Eevee]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JMu1m4hNQ6o/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : How to compose a Digital Matte Painting in 2.8 [Eevee]
Hey everyone, so in this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial I wanted to use blender 2.8 and more importantly, Eevee to create a Digital Matte painting.
So I would have liked to have more time to spend on this Matte Painting and really make it look a lot better but unfortunately I was short on time. The idea behind it though was to show how awesome Blender 2.8 and Eevee is.
(so I guess it doesnt really matter how crappy this example is, ;))
Using Eevee to render our matte paintings will not only save us a whole bunch of time with rendering but also with many other improvements we can optimize our process even further.
I opened up the last Digital Matte Painting we did Castle Rock and rendered the same thing. In 2.79 it took around 38seconds to render one frame but in 2.8 and with Eevee, it was rendered in a fraction of the time.
I hope this video shows you how cool 2.8 is and more importantly, how its possible for compositing a Digital Matte Painting in blender 2.8
Now get out there and create something awesome (and something better than this example :D). If you do create a cool Digital Matte Painting, be sure to post a link in our Facebook group!.
As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial and thanks for watching!..

![Blender Python Tutorial : Importing Modules [learn python for beginners]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K88a1kXCY5M/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Python Tutorial : Importing Modules [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender Python tutorial, we will be taking a look at Importing Modules. We can import specific things from the built-in modules. By doing this we can speed up our workflow and make things look much nicer in the process.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
We already import the BPY Module by default which then enables us to create panels, operators and what not. We can also import many other things as you can see in this example.

In this quick Blender Python Tutorial, we will be taking a look at an error message and how we can fix it.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
You may or may not have had this same error message or you may have one similar. I wanted to show you how we can use the Info window to read the Error Message.
Once we understand what the problem is, we can easily fix it by removing the invalid code and replacing it with the correct one.
Even though this was a simple fix, though some Error messages are more complex but by reading the error message we can get a better understanding of the problem.
If you want more videos about error messages, be sure to let me know in the comments below!.

![Blender VFX Tutorial : Taipei Towers [Compositing]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kl5zFZa44lE/mqdefault.jpg "Blender VFX Tutorial : Taipei Towers [Compositing]
In this Blender VFX Tutorial. we will be compositing the Taipei 101 into a sci fi energy tower. We will duplicate the Taipei tower a couple of times and then using Animation Nodes Addon (link below) we can create an awesome stylized Energy Beam.
Check out the Blog post here: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2019/04/taipei-towers-vfx.html
Now I should note, this is the first time I have used the Animation Nodes Addon and I am still learning how to use it. Since there are tons more nodes to use we can create a whole load of different effects.
Now some of you may already use Animation nodes and if you do, then you will already know how to create this Energy Beam effect. I followed along a tutorial by Chris Prenninger, so you guys should certainly check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot4XC_9nUd8
As I said, I am very new to this addon and would liked to have duplicated the effect two times, and I am sure any seasoned user of Animation nodes would know how to do this very easily. If you guys have any comments of suggestions are greatly welcome!.
So yeah, I really like animation nodes and will have to set some time aside to learn more about it!.
Since I couldnt duplicate the effect as I hoped, and I did not find much information that would help, so I decided to render out the effect, then re position the Energy beam in the 3d view, then I rendered it, then re-positioned it a third time and rendered that. Then I rendered out the BG video and added the Energy beam in Post.
As I said, there would certainly be a way to just duplicate the effect rather than having to do it the way I did. I hope you found this Blender VFX Tutorial helpful!

![Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Guardians Coast [Digital Matte Painting]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KtOPVTpxAk4/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial : Guardians Coast [Digital Matte Painting]
In this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial, we will be composing another Digital Matte Painting: Guardians Coast.
For this Digital Matte Painting, I had a clear Image in mind. I wanted to carve a face into a mountain and then add a castle top village right above it. Along with a waterfall and some atmosphere.
We will be using GIMP for the Image Assets, then using blender for compositing. We will try and compose a fantasy themed Digital Matte Painting.
If the Background you use has motion you will need to track the video then add a couple of nodes to move your assets around. (in this example the Video Background is set on a Tripod so we dont need to track this footage. Be sure to check out our other Matte Paintings that do have Motion).
If you create your own Digital Matte Paintings, be sure to post links in our Facebook Group! (Link below).
