3dpartdesign Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Please do real Psyop Cryptomatte support which will allow create selection on blurred renders (z-depth blur alias DOF blur and motion blur) and with preserving transparency. Complex selections are made automatically by picking ObjectID area selection, materialID area selection and by choosing name of IDs. Exporting from 3d software is easy because it may export everything on 3d scene without manually assigning mattes (what is time consuming). Please do Cryptomatte support in Affinity Photo (or allow to use free Photoshop Plugin https://www.exr-io.com/). https://www.psyop.com/news/cryptomatte trksnoos, ThatMikeGuy, Frozen Death Knight and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc4d Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 +1. Even more now that I have migrated from C4D to Blender completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentraje Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 @jc4d Interesting! I also came from C4D but I'm slowly using Blender more and more to my workflow. Cyles4D also support cryptomatte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after they decided to go to subscription I said that I will not support that kind of business model. And honestly so many architectural plugins are now abandonware, so I didn't have any reason for continuing with it. 13 minutes ago, bentraje said: Cyles4D also support cryptomatte. Although I know about Cycles4D, didn't know that it supports cryptomatte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentraje Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 TBH, I wouldn't mind having the subscription IF they maintained the same perpetual model. But they didn't. They stripped away the MSA and the Cineversity (you can only avail if you are in subscription) mode. Anyhow, for mograph work, I still use C4D, then try to use Blender, gradually. I got my Blender start with Cycles4D when I searched for some rendering/texturing tutorials. BTW, there's a C4D users thread in blenderartists.org It's helpful every when you have "this is how I do it C4D, how do i it in Blender?" problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myclay Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I think for the Serif developers its additionally helpful to give them direct links to how the files need to be read/written Since it is widely adopted, it would be neat to see it in Affinity Photo and it would align with the efforts of adding more support for game art users. @Andy Somerfield Access to the specifications and official sample data of cryptomatte;https://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomattehttps://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/tree/master/specificationhttps://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/tree/master/sample_images trksnoos 1 Quote Sketchbook (with Affinity Suite usage) | timurariman.com | artstation store Windows 11 Pro - 23H2 | Ryzen 5800X3D | RTX 3090 - 24GB | 128GB | Main SSD with 1TB | SSD 4TB | PCIe SSD 256GB (configured as Scratch disk) | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc4d Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Like you I decided to keep my perpetual R21. I had Prime since version 9 and upgraded every time, but now I couldn't justify the price step from Prime to the whole package since I don't have use for mograph and those. I have been following that thread as I think any other C4D that jumped the ship since the subscription model was announced. I think Serif team is aware of that since they have even a video on youtube about selecting objects with the cryptomatte pass, but it relies on the magic wand and not a true cryptomatte support.

lfertig Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 this would indeed be insanely useful, either as a native affinity feature or by supporting the existing exr-io plugin for PS. I'm currently jumping between various programs an this is actually the last thing keeping me from comping all my still images in affinity... has anyone from serif ever commented on this? Is it being taken into consideration or maybe even on a roadmap for future releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theartofsaul Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 +1 this would be great to have, while EXR-IO is ok, having a full fledged integration similar to the one found in Nuke would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baoyu Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 +1 from a blender user. Here's a simple example rendered multilayer openexr file as attachment. As you can see in blender's compositor, the cryptomatte node offers :①a image output ②a matte output ③a pick output which can be used to display areas to be add or remove ④a picker to add area ⑤ a picker to remove area. 1.exr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathiasJ Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Just want to add my support for this. Cryptomatte is becoming essential for large scale 3D scenes. ThatMikeGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk23 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Please Serif , just download Blender source code and see how they did it, then re-create something close. Also please make an option to open Z depth normalized ( as an option) and turning negative part of a range into 0-1 .

Alexey Adamitsky Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I was re-evaluating Affinity Photo as a possible candidate for our production pipeline. Affinity Photo pretty much has all the tools we need for our work except one — full cryptomatte support. I was hoping it would have it by now but unfortunately it's still not implemented. Will have to stick to old workflow. Too bad. We really like Affinity Photo and would love to use it on a regular basis.

eobet Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I just tried the cryptomatte output of Blender 3.1 with Affinity. Does not seem to be working very well... but I might be messing up a step or two (it doesn't work out of the box at any rate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
