Using Deepexr from .ass files

[michael.wahrman]

Dear Forum, At the OpenEXR Town Meeting, it was mentioned that they were looking for images they could use for a variety of metrics, and furthermore "deep" images were particularly desired.  I have about 500 images with Arnold that might work for them, but I would like to rerender them with DEEPEXR or whatever it is called.  I do not use a front end to Arnold, I use Ass files.  Does anyone know how to turn on Deep Exr from .ass?

Thank you, very much!

You have to use a deepexr driver

Thank you, this is great. It is very clear to me that I only know a small part of what .ass and arnold can do.,
