Please help,

My multass layers are all black, no reflections shadows etc. the layers do render out but they are all black. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance…

Make sure you are using Corona’s multipass and not the C4D one. You can find the Corona multipass under the effects rollout (or is it tab? :D) in the render settings.

In this matter i would have also a question.

When trying to get my z - Depth pass, something is odd. I have all other passes, but the z-depth isn there. Do i have to select a certain file type or something? Also, in picture manager the little eye symbol left of each pass, is different for the z depth pass. its just a little dot.

Thanks for any help guys

all you need to do is select a filetype that supports layers, then it is going to create a channel from the depth pass (I assume you were missing it in photoshop), not a layer.

Actually i dont think the file type is any issue. Of course i tried psd and tiff.

I did some further testing, and found out that, if u JUST setup the z-depth pass so no other passes, the option “layers” when u try to save ur picture is greyed out.
So did anybody actually did manage to get the z-depth pass out?

And yes, i managed to render all passes, and see them in PS, just the z-depht is behaving differnetly.

thx

Ok, sorry. I did some more testing, and i solved the problem.

In case anybody has a similar problem:

The z - depth pass just works for me, if i make 2 of them. Just add the pass 2 times, and one of them will showup as it should.
