.exr Elements saving black

<< < (2/2)

TomG:
For me, following the steps of disable saving the render, rendering in the VFB, then using the Save option from the VFB and choosing OpenEXR, the Normal file is in fact not saving properly (I am getting the CMasking_ID.RGB result showing in the RGB result where the Beauty should be), but the results from the Broken Max file works properly.

Deleting and re-adding the two masks to the NormalFile version then saves properly, so something seems corrupted in the initial set up (even if it is apparently working for you) - what happens if you delete and re-add the passes before adding the ZDepth? Was the normal file created in an earlier version of Corona? Does saving from the VFB rather than using the Save File option make a difference for you?

(as a note also, I am loading the EXR into Photoshop using the free Exr-IO plugin since Photoshop on its own is very bad at handling EXR files)

Sorry I was in a rush typing last night, I meant "CMasking_Mask." and Yes im using Exr-IO plugin in photoshop & EXtractoR in after effects.

Strangely, Deleting all of the render elements and adding them again has fixed the issue...

Thanks a lot for the quick replies Tom, you've saved my bacon!

TomG:
Glad it is working, and you are welcome! Render Elements in Max do sometimes just get outright confused and need to be rebuilt from scratch unfortunately, often this occurs with some network path being saved to and Max can start to throw some error about that, maybe something similar happened here - at least there were just a couple of Elements to recreate in this case so it proves not too annoying, whew!
