Add glow on metal and letters
Posted by Stig Olsen on August 7, 2015 at 9:59 pmHi,
I heavily relied on plugins to do shine/glow effects triking through letters and on metal surfaces, products etc, but I don’t have them available anymore.
How do you create the same effects with what is available built in?Best, Stig

Best, Stig

August 9, 2015 at 10:45 amYou wouldn’t happen to have an old “without vs with” example of the effect?
Was it done as a post effect on the completed render or as an effect using a depth or alpha channel?
The more information you can provide the easier it would be to suggest alternative approaches.
