Hi....guys,
Thanks for the feedback that i got for the previous post. I have been working on the project right now.
Here's the case, All of the model is fully done in SI|3D. And we plan to render the model layer by layer, then composite everything inside Flame later on. But we want to save more money now. Forget about flame, we're trying to use After Effects 5.0 to operate it.
Inside flame, it can read the depth information of each model, the coordinates system, the distance, then place them nicely according to their distance. We were trying to achieve the same thing inside After Effects 5.0. but seems that it just goes through everything what is suppose to be seen and what is not suppose to be seen. It doesn't read the Zpic channel (I guess, because it appears an error said that move***.zpic cannot be read). I have checked that the Zpic files had placed in the same folder where the original files place. Is there something wrong with our Softimage ?
Now my question, does AE handle a coordinates system like flame does ? meaning it can read the object location, where it place, the distance, etc. If no, what kind of composting application that can do that beside flame.
Then the second case, the first shot is in wireframe which is render in Depth Cue information. Can i make a fake Z channel within Depth Cue , anyway to manipulate it inside Softimage ? Please, any kind of feedback will be praise !
