EDIT:: BTW im comping in Nuke   Guest Date: Tuesday, 20.10.2009, 18:58 | Message # 2 Start with the diffuse as the base. ao_ao - multiply refl_reflection - screen shd_shadow - multiply spec_specular - screen matte_matte used for masks(luma or alpha) camz_depthremapped - used as input for a blur node or as mask for a blur node normal_normalcam - normal passes are usuallly used for relighting. Multiply with a color, desaturate and screen the result wherever you need to. Don't know most of the passes, so it's rather incomplete.   Forum » Art Discussion » 3D Digital Art » render passes, order + operation Page 1 of 1 1 Forum main pageArt Discussion     General Discussion     3D Digital Art     2D Digital Art     Photography     Video & Animation & Cinema     Traditional Art     Experimental Art     Design     Handmade Folk Art     Sculpture     Scale modeling     Game development     Web-designMusic Forum     Composing     Recording     OtherLiterature Forum     Literature & Poems     ArticlesFree Talk     Advertisement     Free talkSite Support     Bug Repport Search:
