Shake 2.5 and Maya Z depth

[beaker]

What do you want to do with the zdepth?

Best bet is to just read the blimp tutorial. It covers a bunch of stuff on zdepth.

Hi!

I am complete beginner in shake and today I encountered a problem: how to use Maya iff animation, with Zdepth in shake? What kind of node to use? Zblur or Zdefocus? I tried both of it, I cant get any proper focus out of them at all.. All I get is blur all over the place. And yeah, the iff has a Z Depth in it (checked)

What I am doing wrong? I read Shake help on this topic, but it doesnt give me any solution at all...
Please help me what to do. I heard that a special node is avaliable just for maya made iffs... but its seems I cannot find it.

You may need to search a macro in highend3D/shake section which do some math conversion for maya Z depth.
Maybe it is called mayaDepth.h?
