I know someone mentioned it a while ago, but How would you use crypto matte with Corona. I thought it had to be built in on a shader level.

You actually don't need anything in terms of shader or render engine. It seams to work just by using object names or materials etc.
The only thing you need is a plugin or node inside your editing software, like Nuke, Aftereffects or Photoshop.
Here is the GitHub page https://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte (https://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte)
Most of the work would be to do the plugins, for Aftereffects and Photoshop, since there is already on for Nuke and Fusion.

Ok, that is great! But why is Chaosgroup advertising this as a major feature in Vray 3.6?
-
Jjajaj it is available in Clarisse, Vray and Arnold but only for Alshaders in Maya.
This is weird because Arnold does not support it, but the Alshader does??
So I guess that maybe there is some coding reacquired on a shader level.
But honestly, it should be implemented in any render engine by now. The fact that it saves a lot of work and time, especially for compositing.
And that is why Vray is promoting this feature so much, because right now they are the only ones who really support it.

Bump, I would still really like better/full support for Cryptomatte :-)

Hello,
Any chance to get CryptoMatte integration for v2 ?
-
no, sorry. Features for v2 are already fixed
-
Darn. Than maybe for the next version. The other day I thought about this topic and I had the idea of integrating it into the CIE, so you could just pick an object with your mouse and save a mask to a "TIFF" file jajaj If we ever get that option.
Honestly, the render mask only is very quick and useful, but you still have to set up your masks and that can be time consuming. So maybe, instead of cryptomate we need a button to generate all the masks automatically. Just like creating the lightmix render elements but with masks in RGB channels. That would be an alternative I could live with.

On the roadmap (V4+).

Is cryptomatte going into v4?? i can see it in trello board, but its not into v4 yet.
-
Just double checking...
I could not find the Cryptomatte listed on roadMap for V4. Is this still on plans. Once you use Crypto you will never want to go back to anything else. It's a must, for any production that has comp/post envolved.

It's on the plans for sometime after Corona 4 - https://trello.com/b/EfPE4kPx/corona-road-map-3ds-max (pool of big ideas....)
