Thanks for the tip.

Thank you. Glad you liked it

Thanks

Thanks. I haven't looked into that though.

OpenEXR will not give you the channels you need for Crytpomatte to work.

I guess no. Cryptomatte is camera based.

Yes I think you can.

It's quite straightforward. There's is a fusion documentation here too github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte

If you add EXtractoR you can choose the layer for your RenderLayer.Combined (if your render layer is named RenderLayer. My test was using eevee, and then I had to also add an exposure effect and change the gamma to 2.20 to look the same, which kind of makes sense since Adobe will assume exr is linear. But I was able to get the beauty pass that way, and still have the cryptomatte working in the same single Multilayer EXR file. I see quite a few other people rendering two files though, maybe they know something I don't? Or maybe I know something they don't?

@@AndyEngelkemier thx, figured it out eventually.. pretty cool, although I have to find out why it was so slow to operate

@@AndyEngelkemier i guess they render two files bcs of gamma, I did that with still renders, btw dwaa is lightest but problematic for some apps (ae and ps)..

@@robob3ar dwaa worked fine in my test for PS and AE 2022, but the compression was not acceptable. Pxr24 took my files from 51MB to 20MB and was acceptable so long as my exposure was close. If I take it too far then the differences showed up. And to solve for gamma, it's easy. Just add an exposure effect (same for AE and PS) and change gamma to 2.2 Now, if I could think of a way to make the adjustments in AE more efficiently. Right now I'm showing Matted Colors, then adding an adjustment layer below that using the matted colors as a luma matte. But I have to do that for each material/object that I need a different adjustment for. I'd love to somehow do that all within one layer. I wish you could create an adjustment and assign it to a cryptomatte set instead. This is where a nodes workflow really shines.

yeah . This will work for animation as well.

Make sure you select " asset" "object " and "material" under layers settings in Blender.

However you set your cryptomatte settings in blender during export then yes. You can select every individual object in blender to be a cryptomatte, render and export the image sequence to your compositor of choice. But sure you know this already being 5 months ago.

Too bad. Thanks for sharing.

Can you elaborate?

@@jalpranjal i mean i get the cryptomatte pass into the nuke. but it's not reading the data and picker is not enabling. when seeing it's properties the layer dropdown has no info in it like objects, material and assets. same cryptomatte works in ae!!

@@jalpranjal It's resolved!!
