compositing tutorial

[48design]

Hi guys,

since there is no commercial renderfarm supporting Phoenix FD (at least I don't know about any):
to save some time I could render the scene without fluid/fire on a renderfarm and the fluid/fire on my own computer. Do you have any tipps on how to do the perfect compositing afterwards? The reflections, shadows and so on should look as "fully rendered" as possible...

Best regards
Fabian

This will be very difficult to handle. It will totally depend on the scene and how complicated it is.
One way to extract shadows and reflections will be to use VRayMtlWrapper on all the objects in the scene except the Phoenix simulation. But still this will work only in some specific cases.

currently we are working over tutorials for the most used simulation cases, and some of them include compositing. for example, object falling over infinite ocean surface - this case needs relatively complex compositing, first for the splash/foam (it's quite faster if the liquid and the splash are rendered separately) and second for the simulator and ocean blending.

Hi!

I didn't think that someone would answer this post after waiting some time without answer.
It would be really great to see some tutorials for that!
