Hey all,

I'm finishing up the much-delayed new incarnation of Mission Control:

http://superfad.com/missioncontrol/video/

I have a lot of little loose ends to take care of, but there are some bigger questions I was hoping to get some help with— particularly with compositing.

• Layered RenderPasses

I have both the room/main screen and the video panel on separate render passes. This works fine unless I want to do something like apply an effect to the whole room, but not the screen.

Basically, what I want to accomplish is fake DOF by blurring the main RenderPass, but not the video screen. Is this possible? I tried something where I rendered the whole room to a texture, but it didn't look very good. Sandwiching ShaderPasses between RenderPasses doesn't seem to work, either.

• Overlaid Effects

I'd like to throw some lighting effects over the whole render, basically just static plates that I'd normally just layer on top in After Effects in multiply mode. Is there a straightforward way to do something like this?

• Floor Reflections

I'd like some hint of glowing light from the wall and the screen reflected on the floor. What's a good way to fake this?

Of course I'd also like any other feedback on how I might tighten up the presentation, etc.

Best,

Scott
