Z-depth channel

[alexx]

if you have a comp. app that can not read Z-information or simply want to be able to "see" the depth channel you can render out a fake z-channel.

here a script that converts your scene so that the result will render out a z-channel like 16 bit IFF image, that you can use in any compositing tool.

:shame: be sure to read the header of the script before (!) executing it. it will change your scene a LOT.
i am not responsible for data loss :)

Thanks Alexx. Is there a cleaner solution though? This one is a finiky.
