Maybe Chaosgroup should write a file format like this one?
Why would we do that? There are already two formats that can store sub-pixel samples: OpenEXR 2 and the mentioned EVO file format (there is also RPF, but I don't know if anyone is using it). Won't it make a lot more sense for us to support those instead of reinventing the wheel? From what I know, the GoGhost guys already have V-Ray support, so you can ask them for more information.
Haven't used RPF since learning to composite with Combustion back in 2004 ...12 years..wow time goes by quick
Yes I can see why you would not want to re-invent the wheel, especially as the GoGhost guys do have v-ray support.
Is it currently possible to output an exr. from vray that contains sub-pixel samples that can be used in Nuke to generate usable mattes on the fly that can be used in the way the demo video from GoGhost? And how is this output? in the same way you output deep files?
Sorry if my questions sound stupid/obvious I don't use deep very often. A lot of places I have worked don't use it mostly due to the massive file size. I wasn't aware that you could get the kind of control in by using exr 2.0 in post to auto generate mattes in post . The times I have used deep there is still some cracking and artifacts on depth based masks.
