  Multipass Rendering for VFX Shot to Composite in AE

  Posted by David Alex on August 8, 2011 at 1:51 pm

  Hey creatives!
  So I’m working on a matchmove project and I did a test using 150 frames and some primitives + cloners.
  I want to make my work in AE easier so I want to render out a multi-pass of the shot, but I’m facing a problem I can’t figure out.
  When I finish rendering and bring all the passes together, everything looks fine, but once I add the footage to the background, the 3D scene becomes light and semi-transparent:
  EXPECTED THIS:
  

  GOT THIS:
  

  I rendered out using the following multi-passes:
  -Ambient Occlusion
  -Specular
  -Diffuse
  -Shadow
  -Material Color
  -Object Buffer of floor plane used for reference and reflections
  -Reflections
  -Main rendered with Alpha

  .PNG format

  So my question is::
  How do I put everything together to composite the scene?
  If it’s not possible with my current settings, how should I go about re-rendering the scene so I can composite the passes properly?

  Thanks in advance!
