OK, Thanks Dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for your reply. Yep, that’s exactly how I’m outputting.
‘Opacity’ changes are working fine, it’s just the ‘Transparency’ under material options is only effective when it has a shape layer or footage (ie something other than transparency) behind it. As the ray-traced renderer doesn’t support ‘underlying transparency’ I wondered if this could be the reason?
Best regards
Russ

I think it has something to do with the transparency settings in the material options. This gives me the look i require but doesn’t export it appears.

Thanks for the info on Yosemite – now I’m aware of potential issues, that should make them easier to overcome should they arise. In the meantime . . . . has the region of interest issue previously mentioned, been experienced by others?

On a mac yes, but only running 10.8.5.
That sounds ominous, as I think we’re upgrading to Yosemite soon

Thanks for your reply Jason.
That’s exactly what I’m doing. I will try just going forward and see if that makes a difference.
Cheers

Thank you
I will be sure to read it all

Thanks for your replies
i guess I should knuckle down and get it done then. It is proving to be the case that every frame is needing a little tickle to make it work – the rotobrush isn’t as accurate as I had anticipated.
Thanks again

October 19, 2014 at 6:28 pm in reply to: Blend modes – what am I missing?

I’m trying both ways actually, hoping that one will work. Primarily, I have a solid layer that I’ve made 3D, onto which I am casting shadows only, exactly as you have said. If I have this layer in a precomp, I can get shadows to be cast on it fine, but I can also see the solid white layer even though I have switched it to receive shadows only. If I cut this layer and paste it into the main comp, then it all works as intended – it receives shadows only.
I realise that blend modes doesn’t factor into this method, but even if I change blend modes, there is no discernible change.

Thanks for your reply John.
I’m using the classic rendered, in all precomps and final comp.
