Hi.

After so many years working in 3D i always saw the big shops using the normal pass render layer.

But i don't know for what!

Can someone point me towards a tutorial or an explanation on how to use the normal pass in compositing?

Cheers!

You can use a normals pass for relighting purposes.

Tis one is written for Shake, but can be appleid to every other software
