How can I rendering single components for post render photoshop editing ?

[philipkrogh]

Hi guys,

 

I would like to render for example only the glass of a bulding to be able to edit it in photoshop (post render editing for each layer in the model).

 

What is the best way of doing this?

 

thx

Would rendering a mask be helpful to you? Meaning, where everything other then your windows renders black and the windows render white, so that you can use that as a mask in PS to edit just windows.

 

If that is what you mean, you can use a vraymaterialwrapper to create a matte/shadow material, which I won't get into yet, or you can use a script that works very well.

 

http://www.tepavicharov.com/scripts.html The script is called "rendermask".

 

You just choose the object that you want isolated, run the script, and it renders the mask. Works like a charm.

 

Remember that a mask doesn't understand transparency, so the windows and what is behind those windows will all be the same.

thx,

 

The masks was what I was looking for. I will try the script and see if that works.
