depth map
hey guys
i’m multipass rendering out of cinema 4d, and one of the maps is the depth map; a black and white animation indicating the depth (very self explanitory) How can i apply this to an after effects 3d channel? ie: use fog or fake depth of field on the image

It must be contained in an RLA or RPF file as special channels. For some strange reason the 3D channel filters are not usable with normal b/w sequences (even though that would yield the same result in many cases). Other than that you can feed several filters with your depth grayscale to fake DOF or you could aply it to a solid as a matte to fake fog.

SO BASICALLY
If i set it up normally, and export using rpf it will just find the channel?

Yepp, depth, diffuse, specular, object ID and a few other channels use predefined names per spec, so the effect should find them automatically.
