Baking is the feature I'm waiting the most for V3. I really need it. I can't wait.

It's a big feature. Finishing deep pixel then this in the alpha phase. Will also be supported on Orc.

I still don't quite understand what the "deep pixel" feature is about... Is it to read native zBrush files?

See EXR white paper. It renders multiple depth layers at once for advanced composting and reprojection.

This one?

I still not quite sure what that will do, but compositing is not my field, plus I'm stupid, so that might be the reason.

This video shows the use of Deep Pixel compositing.

Deep pixel workflow is important in Nuke, PS, AE and PS.

It all will also be supported for real time view independent playback of ORBX media files in v3.

I still don't understand how is that different from regular z-depth...
In the video, the guy uses depth and masks... Isn't that a standard workflow for compositing?

With deep pixels, a single render contains multiple RGB+Z-depth (+ back z ) channels. Ideally, this is sparsely stored in the output format.

wow, great improvement in the compositing workflow
what I have understood is that with the deep channel is like to have a dynamic z-depth pass without needing to mask objects. The different layers are correctly stacked using the z distance, is this correct?
