Arnold Motion Vectors settings for our tools with example using After Effects.
This was done with Arnold in Maya but settings should be the same with Arnold in C4D, 3DS Max, Houdini etc...

Description

In this tutorial, we will discuss a new accelerated workflow for motion graphics that has been developed in the last decade where 3D departments build motion graphics packages that can be used and reused just by changing out a few elements and re-rendering within the compositing software instead of the 3D package.  You can go to the timestamp for the application that you are interested in for After Effects, Resolve Fusion or Autodesk Flame.

This document outlines how to generate UV maps out of 3DS Max and Maya using Mental RAY (MR) and VRAY with reference renders and reference scenes and screenshots showing the settings.  The intent is then use RE:Map UV or RE:Map Inverse UV in your compositing program.

We would like to thank Chad Capeland (https://indicated.co/) for helping us to document this process and testing the best approaches.

Note if you use V-Ray in Cinema 4D for example, you might want to also check our video tutorial using Cinema 4D Renderer ( http://help.revisionfx.com/task/22/#/tutorial-150) ).

In this tutorial, we show how to integrate Mocha tools with our plugins since many of our tools support mattes, points, and masks from other software, we will see examples of this integration using Mocha to export mattes, masks, corner pin, stabilization and transform data.

01:11  Import Shape - example uses PV Feather

02:45  Open Shapes with Mask Avenger - example uses SmoothKit Directional With Splines

06:56  Import Corner Pin and Stabilization transform - into RE:Map Planar / Corner Pin  (using expressions)

10:30  Import Matte - clean with RE:Fill

Eloi Andaluz from Catalonia has made an handy tutorial for 3DS Max users about exporting UV maps.

This tutorial shows how how to set up a project in Cinema 4D to get the best results for use with RE:Map UV and RSMB Pro Vectors, Smoothkit ZBlur, RE:Fill and Shade Shape in After Effects (although you can use other host applications for compositing and some of this will apply to other plugins). 

Special Thanks to Patrick Goski at Maxon.net for creating & providing the C4D sample project and for his support 24/7.

Assigning a Coverage Alpha Matte to the Control Source

Some of our products work from image data rendered from a 3D renderer. Here are notes about Motion Vectors but they apply as well to exporting surface normals or UV maps…

Joren  Kandel (http://www.thepixellab.net/blog) has provided a Cinema 4D and After Effects tutorial where he shows you how to use  RE:Map UV to replace a C4D UV pass with a 2D texture in After Effects.
