In this quick video, we will be looking at the Update for the Shader Library Version 1.03. If you want to download the Update, you can find the link in our blog post.
Version 1.03, has some background improvements and layout changes. I have also added a shortcut : (Shift F). By pressing Shift F in the 3D View, it will call the "Add Shader Menu". You can add whatever shader(s) you want.
The Potion Shader has also changed slightly. We can now enable or disable the Animation effect by using the Check box. If the Animation is enabled, then we can set the Start and End Frame for the animation.
If you have any suggestions or comments, you can leave a comment here or in our Facebook Group.
I hope you are finding the add-on helpful and as always, thanks for watching!.

In this video, I wanted to share this Months Patreon Asset Benefit : The Particle Pro Add-on.
Patreons have access to this Add-on early and can have an impact on how the Add-on is developed. Patreons can download the Add-on Here:
The Particle Pro currently only has one Operation and that is the Follow Path option. With a Click of a single button the Add-on will not only add your Emitter and Particle System but it will also add a Path for your Particles to Follow.
Jump into Edit mode and define your own path!.")

In this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial, we will be composing another Digital Matte Painting called Castle Rock.
This time we will be using the 3D view when compositing our shot. Using GIMP (or any other software of your choice) We will first take an image and cut it into a few layers. Then add some Visual Interest in the form of a castle or two, some Ruins and other assets to build our Matte Painting.
Once we are happy with our assets, we then export the images (with alpha transparency) and bring them into Blender using the Image as Plains tool.
Once the Layers have been positioned and scaled we then add some more visual interest with the addition of a Water fall.
To make our work a little easier, The waterfall video clip has been turned into an Image Sequence. (You could just use the video and create a custom mask).
Then using the same technique as the waterfall we can add smoke and other moving elements to add more life to our shot.
With the addition of compositing, we can add Motion blur, color grading and finally a nice heavy Sunbeams Node to compose this Matte Painting.
If you create an awesome Matte Painting and want to share it with us, be sure to post a link in our facebook group.
I hope you guys enjoy this Blender Compositing VFX Tutorial! and as always, Thanks for watching!..
