Pretty neat, hunh that all the information to quickly go from the top image to the bottom image was "burried" within LightWave's Render Buffers!

What we did here, was using only four of the many Buffers LW gives us access to. And bear in mind, I'm no compositor, not really. These tools, in the hands of someone who's mind is truly excited by the ways these different puzzle-piece elements can be blended together to create the truly breathtaking, can work magic.

If you're an independent filmmaker, like I am, and do and learn things because they have to be done, knowing about the power of Render Buffers, and how much time they can save, can allow you to do a lot more with the time you have for a production!

Keep exploring and finding out new ways to get your vision on screen, the way you see it in your head, quickly and with as much ease and enjoyment as you possibly can!

Good journeys!
