NUKE - Zdepth image sequence

#1

Hi all,
This is the 1st time i use zdepth pass, so i have an rgb image sequence and a Zdepth sequence, so usually when i want to combine stuff i use the merge, but for zdepth what do i use?

Hope i get a fast answer since my deadline is in 2 hours :frowning:

I tried this,

RGB Image sequence --> Merge (B)
Zdepth Image Sequence --> Shuffle (Depth) —> Merge (A)

but i cant see any difference with zdepth or without :banghead:

Edit

I think it worked like this

RGB Image sequence --> Merge (B)
Zdepth Image Sequence --> Zblur —> Merge (A) Mask

your workflow isnt correct. if you mask the zblur its nothing like a masked blurm which is a blend between the blured and normal image
the zblur does calculate the blur strength from the zdepth image

to make it correct:

take a look at the concepts of multi channels in nuke

and for a quick result

<RGBA>
   |
  (B)
<Copy/shuffel copy> (A) <- <Zdepth image>
   |
<Zblur>
