New revolutionary shader from Batzal Software

[asaf_am]

You are all very welcome to take look on our new Ghost shader.

The Ghost shader adds transparency to whole 3D objects or particle effects instead of adding transparency to their surfaces and revealing all of the objects inside and changing their appearance.

It doesn't require queuing render passes, setting ups masks and composition and saves a lot of your valuable time.

 

Watch a demonstration clip on YouTube:

Thank you,

im afraid that video doesnt explain it very well. why would i use it and what for?

 

it seems like the kind of thing thats best done in post with a seperate render for more flexibility?

[asaf_am]

currently it's best done in post beacuse you have no other option

 

Lets say you are working on a low budget medical presentation and you wish to hide body parts then hide parts of the medical device and then animate it with transparency.

(Of course, everything is done from several angles.)

Currently you will have to render 3 passes with possibly some masks for each shot, then compose them. Shadows and reflections are an additional headache.

 

OR, you can animate the transparency straight in 3d and just render

ok thanks for clarifying i can see where you are coming from now, could be quiet useful.

i agree with nicnic - the video is not explaining power of shader, i think this image in your site explaining it much better - http://www.batzal.com/images/showcase/cars.jpg

Very little these days is revolutionary.................big word to use for a shader.

This would be very useful for diagrammatic style rendering, or fading trees in as a separate pass.
