Compositing, Multipass Rendering, Combustion
polycounter lvl 18
Hey, not sure polycount is the best place to ask for this kind of help. I'm trying to put together a short cinematic animation, but I don't really have any idea how to do multipass renderings, compositing and all that stuff.
Here's a quick mockup of the shot I wanna do to get the hang of things first.
Basically the plane moves slowly from bottom to the top of frame while clouds fly past and the earth slowly moves past.
I'm using Mental Ray to render the plane and I'm going to use Afterburn for the clouds and other effects. Thinking of using Combustion since I'm using Max. I was hoping someone could help me through this or maybe point me to some tutorials to get me started.
Mental Ray and Afterburn aren't compatible so I'll need to render the plane, cloud layers and sfx seperate. Which would make sense to do anyway... First thing I need to learn I guess is how to render all the different elements correctly... Appreciate any help!
