Multi Render Engine Composition // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by mrbones // Jan 29, 2006, 4:01pm mrbones Total Posts: 1280 I used all 3 render engines on this one. Composited all together in photoshop. Experimental, to say the least. Post by W!ZARD // Jan 29, 2006, 6:06pm W!ZARD Total Posts: 2603 Very cool Mr B!

I thought you could not composite Vray and LW layers together.

Thanks again and Cheers Very nice image. I thought you could not composite Vray and LW layers together. Post by Colfax // Feb 3, 2006, 12:37pm Colfax Total Posts: 49 Well I'm hoping there aren't features in Truespace 7 that the CEO of Caligari is unaware of. That would be cause for slight concern. I believe Roman's statement is still essentually true, that Truespace 7 itself can not create an image composited from different rendering engines. Since you said you composited the renderings in photoshop, there isn't much need for clarification. Photoshop has all the tools you need to composite images. The blending of the images seems most apparent in the soft "halo" around the human figure. May I ask what version of Photoshop you use? Do you use layer masks or another method like the eraser tool? I'm interested in compositing 'multi-engine renders' myself. Considering that the lightworks render engine is capable of creating 32-bit images that contain alpha transparency information, it seems likely that the transparency data could be applied (in photoshop) to Virtualight and Vray renderings of the same scene... making compositing even easier. Does anyone follow me? Keep up the noble experimentation Mr. Bones. Post by Vizu // Feb 3, 2006, 2:09pm Vizu Total Posts: 628 I favorite multi rendering engines. In Truespace i use the VL for nice reflections and standart Bumpmapping on the material and render it to psd. From the VRay rendering i use the shadows. This i composite in Photoshop CS2. i use Photoshop since more than 6 years and i don´t want miss it. btw. i don´t see my tga texture with mask in the vray rendering. Is it still a problem in 09. and will fix in 1.0 or is it a problem by me self ? ah and don´t forget !!! excuse my bad english.
