Jeff's stoopid questions (new Q- oct 21,09)
-
i sold the last of my digital camera gear earlier this year.. i shoot only film now but if needed, i could easily borrow a dslr.. stitching is very easy these days as it's mostly automated.. but yeah, making my own exrs is a good idea in certain instances because i often do on site consultations so i can just shoot some panos while i'm out there and then use the real surroundings in the render. (though realistically, i only see this happening a couple times a year)
i guess i'll have an easier time adding backgrounds in photoshop (well, easier than finding a proper hdri for the scene).. i'm decent with photoshop and can make layer masks but i'd rather avoid it if i can.. i sometimes see layer masks posted with the renders (just the straight black/white version with the background cut out).. does indigo have the ability to make these masks for me while the scene is rendering?
-
Yes, indigo can make render masks automatically. Just go to the skindigo settings panel->advanced->set the render method to 'alpha'
-
oh nice! it makes them very fast too

ok, i think i have enough new info to experiment with for a little while.. i'm sure i'll have some more questions in the future
thanks so much for the help so far!
