We will find a subsection called cryptomatte. Now we can go to the view layer tab and bring down the section called passes. Therefore, go to the render settings tab in the properties panel and change your render engine to cycles. What settings do we have for cryptomatte?Ĭurrently, it's only available in cycles and by default, we are in the Eevee render engine. Let's look at how cryptomatte really works. I think that is outstanding!Ī technology like this can come to benefit the whole Blender community from one such project and I hope for more such projects in the future. Next Gen is available on Netflix and it was made almost only with Blender. The reason that cryptomatte is in Blender is thanks to a movie project called Next Gen. We can then just color pick the masks that we want in the compositor using the new cryptomatte node. With cryptomatte, all objects and materials can be set up automatically and it will also support depth of field, motion blur and anti-aliasing on the masks it creates. Before cryptomatte we had, and we still have object index and material index among the render passes.īut this needs to be set up on a per object or per material basis. We can use it together with the compositor to have a quick workflow where we change objects and materials instead of re-render with new settings when we discover a mistake.Ĭurrently, cryptomatte can only be used with cycles render engine. What is cryptomatte?Ĭryptomatte is a post-processing tool that enables us to mask separate materials or objects. Let us jump into what it is and follow up with how we can use it in Blender, some things to think about and possibilities. Now you can start playing with the cryptomatte node in the compositing nodes. Enable the passes object, material, and asset in the passes section found in the view layer tab in the properties panel under the cryptomatte subsection. It comprises two parts, a compositing node and passes. It can create very accurate masks with support for anti-aliasing, depth of field and motion blur. Considering how advanced masks you can make with cryptomatte, it is a simple workflow.Ĭryptomatte is used to create masks based on objects or materials. It is the function that you never thought you needed, but once you have used it, you cannot live without. Cryptomatte is a new feature in Blender that will allow us to create masks based on materials, objects, and even groups of objects.
