Camera Projection Settings

[dangbat]

Hello

I am having a little difficulty projecting 2 projections on a model. I have a main projection setup and then a secondary projecting a fix on the right wall. This is all working fine except when set to project on "FRONT" Nuke seems to project through geometry and hit any faces that are facing the camera. Is there a way to get the projection to stop once it hits the first geo? Kinda like how Mayas projection allows for touch up cameras. Or should i be looking a a different work flow.

I was using Maya and after effects to build environments for animated flash characters. i find nuke handles large projections better so I want to move my work flow over to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you render each projection separately through two scanline render nodes and merge them in 2D? Maybe I'm not fully understanding your situation. -Ean

I found a few work arounds for what I was trying to do. Basically I need to import each piece as a seperate obj file. It should act more like a projector where objects that are behind dont get affected. Anyways if I import them seperatly or as you said recomposite in 2d it worked out ok.

Thank you.
