Easy Model Compositing Addon V1.2B

Quick, Easy, Convenient!

As a VFX artist, time is always my biggest concern. Having to render and re-render trying to get passes for my objects is a nightmare, costing precious time and resources on what should be simple. I just wanted to be able to set up my scenes, press render, and let Blender take care of the rest for me; Now I can! This addon was created in collaboration with John Roper to remove the headache from my workflow, and now I’m sharing it with the community!

This addon automatically outputs the Object, Shadow, Reflection and AO passes from your render, organising them into convenient folders. This works perfectly for single frames, and even whole animations, allowing you to drag these image sequences straight into your compositing software of choice (such as After Effects) and work with them as clips. No render layers and exclusions, no multiple renders of the same scene, no having to create folders, no hassel… just setup your scene, and the addon does the rest for you! This addon is designed for time and convenience, so you can focus on what you do best- creating art! And, because it does everything efficiently in a single pass, this addon can reduce render times particularly for animations!*

Environment Shadow Passes!

The standard “Shadow Pass” output for Blender only gives you the shadows cast by lamps within your scene. It doesn’t, however, give you any of the shadows cast by HDR environment maps! I use HDR maps for all my projects; they add natural lighting and reflections to your scene which instantly improve the overall quality and realism of your renders. This addon takes care of that issue; it captures the shadows cast by both the Environment maps and the Lamps in your scene!

Beautiful Renders!

Whether you’re creating a 3D tracked VFX shot, or you’re just trying to show off your latest model; compositing into a real background can help sell your model’s realism, and take the presentation to the next level. Now, with this addon, compositing is quicker and easier than ever. Within a few button presses you have everything you need to composite onto a background using your software of choice!

*compared to other methods

Update V1.1

Added “Reflection” output pass, for compositing into scenes with glossy ground surfaces
Updated the PBR Material node to V1.2, which includes the improved Fresnel, IOR, roughness controls, and addition of heightmaps

Update V1.2

Updated the PBR Material node to V1.6, which includes the improved Fresnel, glass emulation, IOR tweaks, faked caustics, anisotropic metals, and improved normal maps
Better normalising of lighting for the shadow pass output, to reduce the amount of contrast adjustment needed during compositing
Outputs have been tweaked to correctly reflect alpha objects in your scene- specifically in the prior version use of the ‘Holdout’ shader for certain custom FX produced incorrect results. You should now find that objects using the Holdout shader correctly punch out your renders

Update V1.2b

Quick fix for an issue that inverted the shadow pass
