Animation masks

Hi,

I’m currently rendering an animation in Envision and would like to create a mask pass. My aim is to isolate the animated people so that, in post-production, I can convert them into solid silhouettes.

The animated people move and sit behind other objects in the scene, so I would need to apply a mask material to everything except the people. Is this something that can be achieved in Envision?

Thanks

Hi, currently Envision doesn’t support rendering of masks of people or other specific objects.
If you would like to suggest this feature, I encourage you to add it to our Idea Portal, so that we consider it in our future plans: https://chaosenvision.ideas.aha.io/. This will allow others to vote on it and raise its priority. Also, you will get notifications when the idea gets updated over time.

Hi, it is actually possible export masks however with rather limited control and only possible for image-sequences or still-output, an object mask on your case might work until further and more refined control is introduced in the form of specific IDs. As Suggested by Marcin please feel free to drop further ideas in the portal, also feel free to take a look at the following documentation regarding render channels. Render Channels
