Combustion, Maya & depth of field

#1

Hello,

I try to get Depth of Field (3DPost) worked in Combustion, but it seems to be impossible with files rendered out in Maya. I tried .iff, .rla but it doesnt read the depth information.

Know I found a demo of AE plugin from “Frischluft” and it works in Combustion, but it costs 199$ and Im a student. Is there anybody who has experience with that? Are there any free plugins for DOF AE/Combustion?

Ill soon give it up and will add a simple blur to my fore ground layer, but thats not as nice as real Depth of field.

Thank you very much.
Simon

Rpf’s files are the ones that combustion reads the Zdepth channel, or if you are working with other files to work with the 3Dpost, you want to make a paint in grayscale and make it a zbuffer, and all that stuff, there’s very good lil example on the combustion help,
hope it helps.
