[vfx] work notes 7

deferred pipeline

• deferred pipeline can swap between proxy and full geo
• namespace editor > delete namespace
• shader is assigned on the full geo model with certain namespace
• proxy geo (preview) > swapper > full geo (alembic) > namespace editor > load material set

sss noise

• vray > DMC sampler > use local subdivs
• material sssSubdivs 256

transformation shots

• anim > fx > cfx > lgt
• cfx will use a certain animation version, it will be shown in email or different formats
• if there is new anim, but no new cfx, need to roll back anim to match current cfx

mirror reflection render

• domelight visibleInReflections should be off

filters

• "no hair" filter is important, because hair renders long

add plate to render view

• in vray frame buffer, bottom left, set background image as plate
• can toggle foreground button, to compare render to plate

show light texture in viewport

• maya vray texture > show in viewport > texture only

vray RT

• can be used as IPR rendering

pre-comp

• if there is a foreground character touching a cg car that needs reflection
• pre-comp it with roto, don't let the car block the foreground plate character
• use the roto to identify if the dummy matchmove char for the reflection is working or not
• if matchmove, integ characters are not published, can be imported in manually

plate projection shader on lidar

• need to add the plate manually to the shader in every shot
• need to change camera to the shot camera in the shader
