I love the tutorials on this site, Gleb! I used to play around a lot with an old LC-A, a Holga and their plastic fish-eye camera (all lomo) and the results were mostly weirdly beautiful. Could someone explain to the noob that I am how to set up such a custom lens? Like basic shape (as I assume you put a transparent mesh object in front of the camera view) and basic material setup, I can probably figure out the details myself. I a mesh plane with simple glass material in front of the camera and then solidified it and deformed it. But I only got undesired results.. thanks, stefan

In reply to Gleb Alexandrov. Thank you, yes that explains it :) I'm more a photographer than 3D artist, so I really appreciate your lighting tutorials and your synergistic approach..

In reply to wph4. I got the doubling effect by mixing 2 renders (from different cameras) in the compositor (in overlay mode, with cranked up RGB curves on the second camera render). Hope it helps.

I must be missing something. How do you get the double exposures? I’ve added several “lenses” with refraction and distorted them. It distorts the scene just fine, but I’m not getting any multiples or the double exposure effect. I’ve tried with the glass and refraction shaders.

In reply to Unwary. Unwary, I made the doubling effect in Blender compositor. Yeah, it is two scenes (or rather two angles of the same scene) composited together using 'add' mode.

Had a good whack for the scene going, shifted it absentmindedly, and could never regain it. It turned out okay though. Do you have any tips for the doubling effect? Two scenes, composited together? render it twice, and combine in another program?
Thanks for the tutorials.
