The Colin Effect

Colin Freeman used this interesting effect for some of his TWO render tests.

V14 has some features and improvements to make this possible in A:M. V14 Beta 1 should work for this. v14 Beta 2 will have some improvements related to a relocated project file.

Camera Post Effect Layout

Here are the steps to place this effect on a camera's renderings

1. load or create a choreography with a camera
2. Add a merge and blur post effect to the project.
   1. Right click the Post Effects folder in the Project Workspace Tree (PWS), and choose new post effect.
   2. Right click the new post effect and change its type to Hash, Inc. -> Merge
   3. Add a second new post effect and change it to Hash, Inc. -> Blur
3. Drop the Merge post effect onto the choreography's camera, to create an instance of it under the camera.
4. Drop the Merge post effect onto the new instance's first "Camera Output" input
5. Drop the Blur post effect onto the lowest two remaining "Camera Output" objects
6. Make sure your PWS look similar to this.
7. Typically you'll want to make sure the camera's Output Options.Buffers.Apply Camera's PostEffects to Renderings is set to ON. If this is OFF the renderings will not have the effect applied, but a new composite will be created with this effect on the rendering.
