Wire Color render element opacity

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering if anyone has an answer to this one:

 

My usual workflow when compositing in PS is to render out a few elements (of which Wire Color is one) of my final image, and to re-render the Wire Color with glass switched off. The Wire Color pass with glass turned ON always has the glass pane shown as totally opaque. All of a sudden though the element is rendering with a slight opacity, like this:

As you can see the glass pane on the left is transparent. I'd prefer it back to a solid color. Any idea on how to change that? Is it a material option? A depth issue? I have Override Depth in Global render options checked to 20.

 

Thanks guys

That's because of "Affect all channel " is enabled for the glass material under Affect Channels parameter, so all channels and render elements will be affected by the transparency of the material... change it to Color+alpha and the wirecolor would be okay again :)

cheers.
