Enrich stands out in the superhive library for turning Blender's compositor into a filter-style, layer-based workflow. It's built entirely on Blender's default nodes, so nothing gets locked away from the compositor.
Enrich is a Blender add-on built for a visual, layer-based compositing experience. Rather than wiring up nodes for every effect, you work in terms of the style you want on your render, and Enrich automatically creates a node tree that stays easy to understand. It works as a front-end for Blender's compositor, letting you quickly try different looks or use it as an experimentation tool before making advanced changes.
Version 2.0 introduces an Effects system, with effects for Mist, Vignette, color grading and more, each with dedicated controls. Effects stack one over another for a wide range of combinations in just a few clicks. Masks, built on Blender's Cryptomatte feature, let you restrict where an effect applies by choosing colors. A library of ready-made presets, inspired by filters in popular photo-editing apps, can be combined together, and you can save your own node setups as presets for future scenes.
Because Enrich is built on the compositor nodes that ship with Blender by default, there's no lock-in. The node tree it maintains stays neatly arranged, and you can jump into the compositor at any time to make changes.
Enrich - Add-On For True Visual Compositing is best for blender artists who want to handle post-production and compositing by choosing a style rather than setting up nodes for every effect.
Enrich - Add-On For True Visual Compositing is completely free to download and use.
Enrich lets you work in terms of the style you want to add rather than the nodes needed to create it. When you apply an effect, it automatically builds a node tree behind the scenes that stays neatly arranged and easy to understand. Its Effects system covers looks like Mist, Vignette and color grading, each with dedicated controls, and effects can be stacked one over another to combine into a wide range of results in just a few clicks.
Enrich is built on the compositor nodes that ship with Blender by default, so there is no lock-in. While you experiment with different effects, it maintains a node tree that stays neatly arranged and easy to read. You can jump directly into the compositor at any time to make advanced changes, which also makes Enrich useful as an experimentation tool for quickly trying looks before you refine them by hand.
Enrich's masks are built on Blender's Cryptomatte feature, which lets you restrict the areas where an effect gets applied. Because they use Cryptomatte, masking out complex parts of a render becomes as easy as choosing colors. Masks were introduced in Enrich 2.0 to complement the layer-based Effects system, and the layer-based workflow becomes far more powerful when you combine masks with effects to control exactly where each look appears.
Enrich ships with a library of ready-made presets inspired by filters found in popular photo-editing apps, and with the Effects system you can combine multiple presets together to explore new looks. Beyond the included library, Enrich also lets you save your own node setups as presets, so you can reuse them in future scenes. This makes it straightforward to build up a personal collection of moods for your renders.
Enrich is listed as free here in our catalog. Licensing and any current offers can change, so check the developer's page for the latest details before you download. The add-on is available through superhive, and a demo video is available if you want to see more before deciding. Enrich also comes with documentation to help you get started once it is installed.
