EXPORT PASSES

 

Hi,

Is there a way i can export from aximmetry, the background(VR studio) separately from the foreground(Masked camera input), so i can do some fine-tuning in post-production.

I basically need 3 exports. Background, camera input, camera input mask.


Thanks.

Hi,

You can find the simplest scenario here: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/1561-export-separate-level-cglayer-and-keyed

However, depending on how you want the camera input mask this might not be enough for you. For example, you can use the Color Decomposer module to get the alpha of the billboard texture and make a black-and-white mask from it.

Also, if you want to use this for post-production, then you might want to record just the live input while doing the live production: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/video/recording/how-to-record-camera-tracking-data/#input-recording-1
And playback it in post-production to generate again the billboards and the background (VR studio): https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/video/recording/how-to-record-camera-tracking-data/#offline-rendering In post-production you could render in higher resolution the background as you don't need to record in real-time. And you are also saving processing power in live production by not recording 3 videos, but only one (the camera input + tracking).

Warmest regards,
