Demystifying Blender Cycles' Render Passes | Cryptomattes

Here's all you need to know about Cryptomattes in Blender. In the 1st half of the video, we'll understand how Cryptomattes work in Blender, and in the 2nd half, we'll use Cryptomattes in a project-based example.
Also, from Blender 2.92, Eevee supports Cryptomattes too.

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Already learned a ton of things, super good quality video! Very clean motion graphics, too. Keep up the great work!

[@TheInfinites]

Wait it's actually you! Thanks a lot. Even I've learned a ton from you! Actually, everything I know about Geo nodes is because of you :) Thanks again!

[@NebraskaJimmy]

Great stuff very straight forward love finding new channels...keep blending, keep lookin up.

[@TheInfinites]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.

[@collectivedesignllc9942]

This tutorial is very well done, sir! Please keep up the great work!!

[@TheInfinites]

Thanks a lot!

[@abangedit8404]

AWESOME! Lots of people want to Know(prob) "How to do Video Animations" like this one.. THANKS!

[@TheInfinites]

Thanks a lot!

[@Glowbox3D]

You're a smart dude, dude.

[@TheInfinites]

Yeah dude :)

[@10oaoz10]

Thank You! How did you move the node from 3:54 to the shortcut key?

[@TheInfinites]

Hey, the shortcut key is "Crtl + Shift + Left mouse click". You need to enable the node wrangler addon first to be able to achieve that.

[@GaelPrado]

Great video, thanks!

[@TheInfinites]

You're welcome mate!

[@StrikeDigital3D]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@TheInfinites]

Thanks mate!

[@MrRuumi1]

Am I missing something? Because the reflections are still there!

[@TheInfinites]

Can you share a photo of your nodes on my discord? I'll have a look there. Probably something with the mix node.

[@MrRuumi1]

@@TheInfinites hey infinites you're very kind to reply. No I meant to say about video tutorial. When I looked at the sphere by the end of the video I still saw reflection there

[@TheInfinites]

@@MrRuumi1 Alright got it! So my goal was to remove the reflections from the backdrop, which we found in glossy indirect pass. But there's still some reflection in the glossy direct pass, which can be seen in the top sphere. But then again, the idea was to remove the reflections from the backdrop, not the sphere. So even though we turned down the reflections, the effect was only limited to the backdrop. As in, only the backdrop won't have any reflections, other objects will. And that's why the sphere has the reflecitons. Hope this helps :)

@@TheInfinites thank you kindly :D

@@MrRuumi1 anytime mate!

[@blenderzone5446]

great!

[@TheInfinites]

Thanks!

[@blenderzone5446]

my pleasure mate!

[@kikutoons2]

You are confusing me, I have watched both of your videos on cryptomatte 😒

[@TheInfinites]

Hey, no worries. This tutorial explains what cryptomattes are. The other tutorial, which I assume you're talking about 'the new cryptomatte node', is about how to use the new cryptomatte node. Hope that helps.

[@eobet]

Already outdated. What a bullshit interface these nodes are! Impossible to understand without finding the correct tutorial.

[@TheInfinites]

Have a tutorial on the updated version too :)
