I see, I never realized the process would be so elegant and also capable of being done on the fly inside blender itself. Thank you AliceCry! Maybe the next would be tips for compositing a render. Not shaders and textures, but the composition of the image itself. I find my renders usually lack that "pop" that most animators can produce, and they end up looking very bland.
