Hey everyone,
I'm having issues saving my multipasses either as layers in a ppsd or ext or just as individual files. I've looked for a while now for some documentation, but I'm unable to figure it out. The passes seem to render, but do not save. Any help would be much appreciated. Also cam anyone explain the issue with z buffer.. I can only seem to get black frames.

I tested in the latest daily build, it's a recommended update as a great many things have changed since Alpha 6 (see https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?board=40.0)

All seemed to work ok there, I saved from the VFB using Save All to EXR and got one EXR for every pass in the multipass. saved to CXR from there and all the layers were there in a single file in Photoshop after renaming to EXR. I used Dump to CXR from the Picture Viewer and that also had all the layers. I could go into the Layer tab in the Picture Viewer, and using Single Pass checkbox save each pass one by one. I saved to PSD from the PV to PSD format, making sure "Layers" was checked in the output dialog, and it opened in PS with all the layers.

Let me know which of those work for you. Could be that there are changes between Alpha 6 and the latest daily too, not sure on that as haven't tried the Alpha in a while now :)

Also just tested using the Save Multipass option from the regular C4D Save section of the Render Settings dialog, to PSD, and again got all the layers. Repeated that saving Multipass to JPG, and got a separate JPG for each pass. Just in case anyone is working on an animation :)
