Since starting Blender Guru, I’ve received a TON of emails from people asking for help with the compositor. I’d even go so far as to say it’s one of my most requested tutorials.

So alas, I created this easy to digest Introduction to the Compositor tutorial.

If you’re interested in learning more about the compositor, check out The Wow Factor. It’s an eBook written by me that goes into more detail about some of the more advanced effects you can create.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial :)
