I'm rendering a light scene using render passes in Maya 2015.
The aim is to render diffuse, specular and reflectivity seperatly.
When the batch render is complete, all the render passes do appear in the assinged folder, with the correct name and format, but when I open it with preview, after fx or photoshop, there is no information in the frame. Even when I switch between RGB and Alpha channel mode.
When I layer them all on top of each other, the only one that shows up is the master beuty pass. The other layers appear to be all empty.
The only way I can see the passes is with IMF_display, which, as far as I know, can only access by rendering a single frame and in the render window, choosing: file> show Passes> (reflection/ specular/ diffuse)
I can, drag and dop individual frames from the batch render into it from finder . Then they are visible again , only in IMF_display. There is the otion to save as, which then allowed me to see the .exr file as I did in imf_display,
but surely there must be a more direct way of getting my passes straight into after FX or without having to import and export each from through IMF_display.
I'm rendering on a mac pro with 16G of ram and version 10.10.2 with an ATI Radeon Graphics card.
I have been rendering 32 bit exr linear sRgb sequences with HD 1080 resolution and unified sampling set to 1.5 There has been no problem with it .
When the problem with the render passes not being visible occured today , I tried exporting as png, just to see if it was the format creating the problem, but the png batch render gave me the same problem.
I look forward to your reply
