Hi, Can anyone point me to a book or any other current information about depth compositing (the output Softimage is capable of) in After Effects? Yes I wish I had Nuke, or that Digital Fusion hadn't discontinued its low-end product DFX. And I wish that Softimage put out rpf files, or something that would contain depth info in the main file....and object info...
It appears that depth compositing in After effects is a very messy business anyway, so ANY advice, or pointers toward where I can learn this Softimage/AE combo would be much appreciated. And plugins perhaps? I'm stuck with AE. I would also like to use object ID info. I have not been able to find enough information to be able to do any of this, and have been looking and experimenting for days. AE documentation is sorely lacking. I would like to learn all this in some depth, please advise! Thanks, Nancy
