May be you can use a precomp for the whole beauty rebuild and then add the zdepth on top with color correction. Same goes for the camera lens blur effect, can put it on top of the beauty rebuild precomp.

[@CGStirk]

In some cases that is fine. The issue is that precomps have only one blending mode but may contain several layers with different blending modes. Depending on what you want to do, this can be a problem. So, in my opinion, leaving all the layers inside the main comp and using expressions to link them together is the best practice since it's more flexible and you're less likely to run into issues.

hello you! How would you use the denoiser pass in AF? I cannot find any tuto about it... Thank you, i've just descover your channel, it 's really helping me!

[@CGStirk]

Hi, sorry for the late response! You don't actually composite them. They're required for making a denoised beauty pass and using the standalone denoiser app after rendering. To denoise individual passes, go to the Render Elements tab of Render Settings, select the render pass, and check Denoise in the Attribute Editor

[@CGStirk]

Here's the link to the Denoiser doc: docs.chaosgroup.com/m/mobile.action#page/60896734

sir can u plss make in depth tutorial on element 3d ?

[@CGStirk]

I'll look into that. Not sure if E3D has that functionality, but now I'm intrigued!

[@anmcopico4228]

When I'm trying to export from maya , (Arnold) there's no GI and self illumination in AOV's options. And It's a very cool tutorial dude , keep it up.

[@CGStirk]

In Arnold, GI is Indirect and Self-Illumination is Emission, I believe. Thanks!

I have a mix of auto-generated and manual subtitles. If you notice a mistake, post a comment with the timecode and I'll fix it asap.

Bro, How to use Denoiser pass in Composition?

[@CGStirk]

You don't composite with the Denoiser pass. It is there to use with the V-Ray Denoiser Tool. If you want the denoising to be applied directly on the AOVs, then simply select each pass in the Render Elements window, and then enable denoising in the Attribute Editor (Maya). By default, denoising will only be applied to the beauty if you don't do this. For 3ds max, you can enable denoising on each pass in the pass parameters tab at the bottom of the Render Elements window.
