What Format To Output From 3dsmax For Shake

[user_deleted]

Seems like someone have already asked similar question, but nobody has answered the question.
Therefore, I will try one more time here.

What is the best format for 3dsMax to output to be able to do z-depth composit in Shake?

I understand that 3dsMax is PC platform and Shake is Mac.
I don't have after effect.

Beside using rla format what's other (or if there is better format that 3ds can output for z-depth?) format?

I'd like to z-depth composit animation possibily using object ID to isolate object to color correct and all sort.

I'm still new to Shake.... if someone know can give me some suggestion for this matter, it will be great.

Thank you!

RLA should work fine with zdepth in shake also there is Exr.

Shake doesn't work with object id's out of 3dsmax. You would have to just render out a bunch of mattes. Framebuffers with Mental Ray let you render a bunch of mattes to a single Exr file.

Thanks Beaker, for your resopond.

I guess I would try EXR.

Too bad Shake won't be able to use object ID from 3dsmax, but I guess like you said I can try matte on each objects...
We use V-ray instead of mental ray, I'll try V-ray would be able to do the mattes well..

Thanks again!
