I am wondering how you do the blurred backgrounds in your renders? Do you do an initial render of your model then use it in an environment?


Can you elaborate por favor? I am working on a project that I think would look cool using that technique, and who better to ask than you LOL

Thanks

Should be quite straight forward I think. To achieve a similar result you need Photoshop or any other Image processing app. Open your image in Photoshop, enlarge and blur it. After that place your model ( render it out with an alpha channel ) on a new layer and tweak your composite until your happy with the look.

Yeah that's mostly what I am trying, but it just doesn't have that look, ya know LOL. I figured there was something missing, but I'll keep trodding along.

Thanks for the suggestion tho :thumbsup:

yup :) that's exactly what I do, I just prefer it to a flat colour

excellent! thanks for chiming in everyone. I think I am satisfied that I was at least on the right track LOL. I'll just have to tweak until I get it where I want (and that is perfectly fine :))



thank you everyone!
