Working With Layer Nodes

This example includes other elements for soft shadows and lighting. Instead of the Over
node, you’ll use Layer–lMult and Layer–Screen to blend these elements into the
composite you created in the previous exercise.

To load the lighting and shadow images:

1

Add an Image–FileIn node to the node tree.

2

In the File Browser, navigate to the $HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_01/images/
lighting
directory, select [email protected], then click Next (or press the Space bar).

3

Move up one directory, then open the shadows directory, select [email protected],
then click OK.
