How to make a Vignette and Save it!
Learn how you can save a nodes setup so that you can quickly add it to your projects later – saving you the hassle from re-creating it every time.

If like me, you are always making a vignette and are tired of putting the same few nodes together when a single node group should be enough. It should also be there for each new scene we create. Well with a little bit of work we can do exactly that.
We make the vignette once and then set up our starter scene, so that we never have to worry about making a vignette again. we can just make simple adjustments to fit our needs.
Note, this set up is not perfect, nor is it original. Its just a quick way to optimize my workflow and I thought some of you may find it helpful.
So, a few people have mentioned about the background music, and how it’s a little distracting.. I think from now on, future tutorials will just have commentary.. Since my channel is fairly new I wanted to try some new things, but not to worry, this will be the last time I use background music. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching this tutorial!.
Nice tutorial with a lot of very useful information about node groups. Thank you!
I’ve been using Blender for quite a while now and never knew you could save node groups… XD
Thanks for the comment, I’m glad it helped!. I love it how we can use Blender for ages and it still throws up some nice features. It may not seem like much but depending on how many times you create the same layout of nodes each render, it can really optimize your work flow. It’s interesting to see what other groups people make (other than a Vignette)..
Just a small hint:
If you use a Ellipse Mask Node in combination with a Blur Node, u can create this effect much easier and its more flexible than using an image. Cause it will adjust automatically to the aspect ratio and u can control width, height and position pretty easy and u can also adjust the amount of blur.
Using spherical blend procedural texture is even easier and faster!
