Hi,

do you have to change shader opacity attribute to black hole for every objects in different Render Layer so it can have mask? maya doesnt seem to automatically create mask for different render layer.

thnx

mayas render layers and render passes are very limited in their possibilities.
i think you will have to create such passes by hand in a new scene :/

there are some scripts on highend (which i honestly never tried), that could help. but they dont seem to be click and go solutions either.

cheers

Yeah, Maya badly needs much better pass control. I've been using XSI for the past 2 years and it's passes make life soooo much easier.
