  • 1. seperate passes for inside reflections 2. multi shader object buffer

    Posted by Manojit Ghose on June 22, 2018 at 9:38 am

    1. Is there a way to get the inner reflection pass?
    I have some objects inside a a box shaped glass container, however my reflection pass returns with a flat top reflection coat only, is there a way i can get the reflection pass for the objects reflection inside the box as well? please refer to the images:

    “beauty.png”

    and “reflection”.

    2. Is there a way to get the object buffer channels for a multi shader material directly? (the concerned objects are inside a glass container)
    I am applying two (or more colors) through a multi shader to a number of objects contained inside a fracture object, now i would like to be able to color correct each color seperately in post. (i know i can select specific objects and assigning a compositing tag. i am wondering if there is a procedural way to do it that object buffer grabs the colors from the multishader)

    i will appreciate a lot any help tips or even workaround ideas
    thanks in advance to the cows

    Can Extractor get to those channels in AE (under the 3D effects) if you render to EXR’s?

    Hi Steve, thanks for the reply, however, I am looking for a way for c4d to render the aforesaid passes mentioned in the original post, currently all those internal reflections are flattened in the “refraction” pass, since the those are contained inside a “glass” container. And I can only extract the passes that exists/rendered by c4d.
    to summarize i am looking for c4d to render those passes rather than extracting them in my comping app.

    PS: I have tried using the seperate material pass it didnt work either:

    thanks again
    m.
