Blender Python Add-on: INSTA-MIST (version 1.0)

 


The process of adding mist to our renders would normally take quite a few steps. First you need to activate the Mist Pass, then activate the Mist Pass in the Viewport, then switch to the world settings and set the start and depth of the mist pass, then finally we need to arrange the compositor nodes.

This is not a hard process but is very much time consuming. That's why I thought it would be a good idea to create the INSTA-MIST Addon and share it with you.

Check out the Preview Video here.

Once you have downloaded and installed the add-on you can access the Panel by Pressing N and Enable INSTA-MIST.

As soon as we Enable Mist, not only will the Render Layer enable the Mist Pass but all the other work as been done for you also. 

The Camera has the Mist Pass Enabled so we can see the length of the Mist. We can make adjustments to the Start, Depth and Falloff type in the INSTA-MIST panel.

The Compositor has also been arranged, leaving you one less thing to do. We can now focus on the composition and making things look good.

You can download the Add-on here.

I will continue to develop this add-on and if you have any suggestions on what you think we should add, then be sure to drop a comment here or on the Preview Video.

I hope you find this Add-on helpful and as always thanks for reading!.
