compositing to AE
have had troubles getting sittuated with the multipass workflow to AE
-i have .b3d files turning up. most of the tutorials i have seen seem to skip through the details of multi-pass, and Im not sure in “multipass” how to set up so I have seperate image sequences for each channel I set up in the multi – pass section.
Ideally I would have 8 or 16 bit tiff sequences of each channel.
it seems like the .b3d file is a multi layer, but im not sure how to deal with it.
– does multi pass render take multiple times longer, or is it just saving more data along the way?
– is there any resources on good c4d to AE workflows.
thanks

B3D files are bodypaint multi-layer files. They are useless for other programs. Render as PSD, TIF, RPF or each pass to a separate image sequence. Multipass rendering does not increase render time, it only dumps buffers to image files that the renderer generates anyways.

how do i set it up to be a seperate image sequence per channel/property?
-
Simply disable the “multilayer file” option on the mutipass panel. Then feel free to choose whatever format you deem suitable, but generally TIFFs and PSDs are the most reliable.

will there be a name that associates the various image sequences with the channel that they are isolating?
-
Yes, each image sequence will get a prefix. The only inconvenience is taht C4D does not automatically organize them in sub-folders.
