    i am experiencing a problem with Cinema 4D Multi pass system. I rendered a shot that was 450 frames long to my server, With multiple passes the files are totaling over 550 gig, and over 7500 images. My server feels this is unacceptable, and reminds me every-time I try to access it. Is there a way to render to a single folder for each render pass straight out of C4d? Rather than making these montserous directories with are worthless?

    Multi Layer file combines all the multi passes into a single file. So you will get the regular render plus one Multi pass render.
    That is by far the biggest set of files I heard of for 450 frames.

    How do you access channel information with multi layered ps images in AE, I cannot figure out how to reimport or replace passes such as Depth. This is why I stay away from multi layered ps files. If anyone knows of a workflow solution that places each pass into a folder it would be helpful.
