  • AEcs6 not reading .depth files.

    Posted by Justin Mettam on November 13, 2016 at 8:20 pm

    I am using AEcs6 and Maya 2015 and Mental Ray.

    I rendered my beauty .exr files fine and AE reads them fine too. But the “name.###.depth.exr” files will not load into AEcs6. These depth files were generated by just checking the box Depth channel (Z depth) and the result was a extra exr file was rendered. AE will not read these files?

    Any idea how to use these depth files? because I want to use them to create DOF?

    Thanks in advance.

    What sort of error message are you getting?
