Hi, does anyone know how to extract z depth from Maya with depth of field information? When you set up a render layer with luminance depth it just focuses on what is in the foreground with the background the furthest away in the focal plane, but what if you want to focus on something in the middle ground and then use this z depth in an outside application like after effects.

This looked good....

But I could not download the file, does anyone have anything similar?

Any help would be great.
