Something I've overlooked, Cryptomatte requires 32bit depth. Now, could we utilise a multi depth EXR? Or save an the Cryptomatte layers only at 32bit?

Nice to hear from you Tom!

Great to hear that the options for creating Cryptomattes are in development.

Are you saying that it isn't possible through the standard render save dialog? Is this how VRay can save Cryptomattes to EXR files, because it has its own fileoutput option in the renderer?

Hi team,

It would be great to get Cryptomatte working better;
- They only work with CXR files. What is the limitation? Can we have them working with EXR files? Multilayered or seperae? Can we have the manifest as a sidecar JSON file? Nuke will accept this OK.
- Cryptomattes should work with materials, not just hierarchies and layers.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Ah - an update.

We've got Cryptomatte working in Fusion, we had mistakenly used "Hierarchy" and "layer" has fixed the problem. We really need "material" to be an option in there also.

The ZDepth is still missing.

[Max] I need help! / CXR files, Cryptomatte and ZDepth issues in Nuke and Fusion

Hi Coronaughts!

Corona 9 HF2. I'm having some problems with CXR output, ZDepth, and Cryptomatte in Nuke and Fusion.

- Everything works OK in Photoshop using the EXR-IO plugin
- In Nuke, the CXR file doesn't contain the ZDepth, but the cryptomatte works as expected
- In Fusion, the CXR file doesn't contain the ZDepth, the cryptomatte is visible but doesn't work

I have successfully tested a layered EXR from VRay in both Nuke and Fusion with success.

Has anyone had success with these pipelines?


Best,

J.

Gallery / Phnom Penh International Airport - VVIP Terminal

« on: 2022-04-28, 11:37:17 »

Hello friends, it is ages since I've posted! Here is some of our recent work from Minmud.

Phnom Penh International Airport
VVIP terminal
Architect : Foster + Partners

The new Phnom Penh International Airport will be the ninth-largest in the world.

Foster + Partners approached Minmud to create some visuals of the VVIP terminal at the new Phnom Penh International Airport. We are known for our engaging environments, and Fosters + Partners wanted to trial and test different roof canopies both at the VVIP arrival and within the terminal itself. What we present here is a small selection of landscapes and compositions we created.

Hello,

I know this is an old topic however, I think it needs a little more discussion. You're right, there are many different ways to format cubemaps. Do you think that we could have an option to choose the format to suit the next software in our pipeline?


Thanks,
