Results should be identical to the equivalent DeepMerge, provided every element is properly held out by the rest. Can't really tell what differences you may be seeing, but for overlapping volumetric samples it's possible that you may get some artifacts from a DeepMerge set to "holdout". You could

Hey Ivan, looks like I'm introducing problems at multiple occasions. I had undistorted the roto to line up with the renders, and didn't do it on the plate, those two filter hits(undistort,redistort) are causing enough difference to get a gap in the alpha.So I might have to run that through the

I can recommend the book - Mathematics For Computer Graphics by John Vince ISBN 978-1-84996-022-9 Covers all the main stuff. Algebra, trig, vectors, transforms, interpolation, curves, geometric algebra etc - and relates it all to 2d and 3d imagery N Neil Rögnvaldr Scholes Directing |

If you're combining 2 elements that are already pre-held out by each other, you'd probably want to use a disjoint-over instead of a regular over. Either that, or DeepMerge them directly before you go DeepToImage. On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 10:43 AM, Patrick Heinen < mailingli...@patrickheinen.com>

Thanks Ivan! That seams to give pretty good results! Still not exactly the same as deepMerging them unfortunately, but pretty close. Should it in theory look exactly the same? Or is there no way to get it to be the same? Bothers me a little bit that it's not perfect ;) I don't want to deep merge

Yeah I could render with holdouts instead, but that would defeat the whole purpose of using deep. Thanks anyway! Kirti Somerville wrote on 14.12.2015 10:50: > Could try using FilMat node instead and change value to 1 instead of deep... > > > On 14 December 2015 at 18:43, Patrick Heinen

Hey everyone, I thought I'd use deep again for a few shots on my current show, but am now running into some issues I had never noticed before. I'm using a roto on a card to holdout my cg renders, but doing that is creating a dark edge, as the alpha seams to get held out too much. Maybe it's
