At my last company we were using layer exr layers from photoshop. Most probably the proexr format u talking about.
We had a spefic custom exr reader Pytgon script which basically recreated the modes layers, the order and also the opacity levels. Its layer modes worked in video colour space so most likely 8 bit i think . And then had a final lut applied at end to put back into true linear. It worked well. Wasnt always exatcly the same as the matte painting reference i was told. Often had to be tweaked in the opacity levels Sent from my iPhone On 25 Oct 2011, at 04:52 AM, Farhad Mohasseb <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmmz I tried the exr writer plugin for cs5 but it seemed broken on anything > above 5 layers.... do you know what plugin you guys are using?
