Questions about Brazil Renderer Gloom

[CHRiTTeR]

Well if you asked splutterfish sure they did tell you brazil doesnt do glooming. You must use effect or do it in post. Maybe brazil 2 wil have real glooming at rendertime.

Thanks CHRiTTeR.

Splutterfish response has been so delayed that it makes me wonder if I should really get the software or not. My base to this question is in comparison to what Softimage XSI can do with it's own passes internally. I was hoping that a third party plugin would help me achieve this result without having to go into post but, oh well. So beat, I guess I have to do post regardless since I am strapped with max at work.

Thanks again.

Try Final Flares from cebas. They can produce raytraced glooms, star effects and so on. Works very well with vray, it might work with brazil.

Are you actually talking about bloom? Because gloom means darkness which seems to be the exact opposite of what you're talking about.

I'd really try to do this in post regardless if the software supported it in-render. Blooms are highly dependant on the kind of camera lens attached and you'd have much more freedom to get the right look using something like Knoll's Lens Factory or Frischluft Lenscare if you want dof bloom with bokeh.

Where did you ask?

I thought it's caused by light reflecting off the back of the film plate of a camera!!
Would B intrested to know more about it's relation to the lens...
thanks in advance :)

As far as I know most modern film has something what's called an anti-halation layer. It's a layer on the back of the film that blocks the light, preventing it from going through the film and bouncing off the plate and going back into the film again.
Some infrared film doesn't have this layer so that the film can be exposed better, this gives a more diffused look of course.

I think most of the non-DOF blooming is caused by imperfections in the lens that only show with very bright light. The light gets diffused/scattered slightly and shows up as a glow around highlights.

Lens flares are caused by the light reflecting off the lens surfaces, diaphragm, or other surfaces. So how the flare looks is highly dependent on the type of lens.
