Hey Aharon,

If you're ever in need of an idea for a quick podcast topic, how about a quick demo of a practical use of some of the more obscure stock effects? For instance CC Hair, or Fog 3D come to mind as a couple of filters I've never really been able to use effectively.

The operative word here being "practical".

Hope fatherhood is treating you well.

-Chip

Hey,

Sorry to burst in, but I have 2 ideas how you can use these effects.

The CC hair is not so useful in growing actual hair, but for any grass-lawn mower spot it will do fine.

As for the Fog 3D this is design to use with RLA/RFP files that was rendered from 3D program such as 3ds Max' lightwave or Cinema4D, they have additional Alpha channels information with depth and objects ID, so you can use it to simulate a fog from far away to closer places in your scene.

Good idea on the hair! I hadn't thought of using it for grass. Good for a "spring" spot too.

Thanks for clarification on the 3D fog filter as well. I suspected most of the filters in that category took advantage of data from 3D apps.
