Note: When using the OpenEXR Multilayer file format in the image editor with image save-as, or in the output properties for animations, the enabled render passes will be written to the EXR files with their default pass names. The compositor and the file output node are not required for this. If you want to edit the render passes, output render passes to different files, output multiple scenes at the same time, you can use the file output node in the compositor.

Dang this new node is mind blogling, how we are now able to select stuff on the image it self. Thats is super nice! That is really impressive how they coded that. I cant even wrap my head aound how when we hover over the image, it nows what object is below it. Thats pretty genious coding they have done there!

Nice Tutorial, fantastically simplified explanation covering everything one should know as of now!. Thank you very much! One question please, will this work for image sequence? if yes, it will end the regime of rotoscoping, am I correct?

@karijoart 3 жыл бұрын

thanks! This will work with image sequences with this new node soon. Until then, you can already use the legacy cryptomatte node with image sequences. Rotoscoping is another technique for video footage. With 3D renders, we do not need to rotoscope, as we can easily output masks by using cryptomatte for example. So no, it will not replace rotoscoping. They are both techniques to create masks, but rotoscoping is for video and cryptomatte for 3D.

Great tutorial as always. So when compositing external files only (like you did in the last section of the video), what's the best way to render them? Do you have to render the 3d scene as well or what's a good approach here? Thank you!

@karijoart 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Daniel appreciate it. If you did some compositing with external image files, and you want to output the final image, you don't have to click "Render Image". What you can do in this case, is preview the last node of the node graph with the viewer node. Then in the image editor, use the image drop-down to switch to the Viewer Node. Then go to the "Image menu" and chose "Save as". Use the "n" key to open the side panel and choose the format settings you want to save that image with.

@@karijoart alright, thanks. but what do you do in case of an animation?

@karijoart 3 жыл бұрын

First delete the render layers node. We do not want to render the 3D scene. In the properties window, under the output properties tab, set the desired frame range with the frame start and end sliders. In the same panel, go down to the Output field and clear the field, to avoid outputting double files. Since we will be outputting an image sequence with the file output node already, we do not need this output. Go to Render - Render Animation. The animation is now exported with the file path and file settings you set in the file output node, and with the frame range you set in the output properties. Note: I'm not sure the reason for the double output, I will investigate. If somebody knows please let me know if I am missing something

I'm rendering multi-layer EXR with crypto-matte (C-M for short). The C-M is object based and it works in blender compositor (just as you showed me), but when i try to use it in After Effects a lot of objects get "grouped" and proper selection/targeting can't be done because of this. In AE each object no longer each have a unique identity it seems. What am i doing wrong?

I just realized that if you try to pick elements from a separate window (if you have two monitors, for example) the picker won't work. You have to pick it on an image editor on the same window than the compositor.
