Re: Maya Motion Vector Pass

So has anyone ever figured this one out?
This old thread was never got with satisfactory answer.
What exactly do we have to do to get a motion vector pass out of Octane and what will it work with?
I also only ever get flat mid-grey renders.
ie. - is the motion vector data compatible with RSMB or ...

Re: Displacement issues

I've played around with the displacement values and offset to get it to match the old mental renders as closely as possible but that didn't change the problem at bottom of characters mesh. Had to go 16bit texture for correct displacement as 32 bit not working properly.

The mouth in previous ...

Displacement issues

Hey guys,

Having a strange issue with displacement on some simple characters I'm rendering.
Looks like the bottom of character mesh goes invisible with displacement applied.
Checked UVs are ok (not flipped), no seams at problem area on mesh.

Not sure what's going on here.
Any ideas.
Don't want ...

Re: Missing passes in EXR renders

Thanks.
Naming the passes explicitly did the trick.
Should've thought of that sooner

Re: Missing passes in EXR renders

I've had to resort to rendering separate EXR files per pass.
Composite multi-channel EXR just won't give me the passes I am trying to render.
It's a problem though because the files are huge by comparison.

Any news on when we can get 16bit compressed EXR files output as separate passes files?
This ...

Re: Missing passes in EXR renders

So I did a few tests.
Turned off all "beauty" passes except Reflection Indirect and hit batch render.

What came out was a pass in composite EXR title Diffuse Indirect, but this was actually the Reflection Indirect pass.
So I'm guessing, they are both getting written to EXR but reflection is being ...

Missing passes in EXR renders

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has run into issues with some passes not being output in composite EXR files.
I just rendered out an animation sequence and I got all specified passes from Maya scene except for Relection Indirect pass which is crucial for my comp.

Re: Maya batch not outputting any files

Thanks mate. I wish I'd seen that post before flipping out trying to figure out what was wrong.
Hope this gets fixed in future.
That's a pretty critical production pipeline feature

Re: Maya batch not outputting any files

Thanks Jim,

I've been trying again to isolate different things and seems to only fail to output files when I use the output filename to nested folders.
For instance, if I use the flags to output files with "<RenderLayer>" as folder and filename (eg. "SceneNumber/<RenderLayer>/<RenderLayer>.0001.png ...
