Utility Passes in MTB

csmallfield

Hello,

I did some experiments in MTB3 and was quite happy with the results and the future potential to use it as a production renderer. I bought a license after the trial as well, to help support the product.

I know that Motion Blur is a feature intended somewhere down the line, but I wonder if it would be easier, or at least faster to implement a basic utility renderpass/aov setup.

A motion vector pass would go a long way towards making the renders animation production ready. A depth pass would also be very very welcome.

Any thoughts or plans for such a feature?

Cheers,
Chris

Render passes are something we plan to look into for a future release, however, we don't have an ETA for that at this time. Thanks for the feedback.

cool! If you need any testers, lighting, shading and rendering are my thing, I'd love to help!

Sorry to necro this, Joe, but I was wondering if there's been any updates as far as Render Passes go? With some of the realtime renderer's being used for film (like Unity's Adam), rendering out passes from Marmoset could lead to some nifty small scale projects.

Sorry, no updates at this time. It's on our list of potential features but we haven't had a chance to work on it yet, and do not have an ETA at this point.

Is it possible at the moment to access the position of an object in a different frame? Because if it is then it would be possible to write a shader to simulate motion blur. I guess if not, then it would still be possible, only using user input instead of keyframe positions...

I just checked with our engineering team and this is not possible currently. Thanks for the feedback as always though!
