Cryptomatte fusion 9

Just tried DWAB compression in the VrayOptionRE element. Wow. File size is much smaller. 26 times smaller.
This would actually make using multilayered exr. files so much more practical for us.

Fusion 9 supports DWAB compression. So far so good.

Does the cryptomatte plugin on GitHub - Psyop/Cryptomatte: Cryptomatte Nuke plugin, Fusion plugin, sample images, and specification · GitHub work with fusion 9?
Got it working with Fusion 8 but with Fusion 9 …no luck.

I have it working with 9. Did nothing special I think.. I don’t know if it works with DWAB compression though. Maybe try an uncompressed file?

The devs of that plugin are active in this thread:

They’re very helpful and responsive.

26 times smaller sounds almost too good to be true gotta try that too.

Did get it to work with fusion 9
Had to create a folder inside of the fusion 9 folder called Lua and put the .lua files in there.
Doesn’t work with DWAB though which is a shame

Update :slight_smile:

Good idea. Thanks for doing that. Will save someone else some time

I have it working on version 8 and 9 though i did find an issues i am trying to resolve. When I used Cryptomatte in Fusion to matte out areas in several of my sequences it would be fine in the view port but the rendered out put from fusion would randomly loss the matte alpha. Solution I had was to add a save node straight from the Cryptomatte node output a matte and then load the the same matte back into Fusion for use…still a quick solution. Love it and hope to use it more. Also my Crypto node only has 1 input where as on the video I can see 3.

from what I am reading here Redirecting to Google Groups
vray will support dwaa and dwab soon enough

The newer versions don’t need multiple inputs.
