RenderID and Coverage combined in updated macros for Fusion

Hi there. I updated my macros for lighter comps. Instead of having just one that combines 20 masks I have made four different ones suitable for the job of simply combining either, 2, 5, 10 or 20 masks.I also cleaned it up a bit. I hope you use it. Enjoy!

Fusion Macro for using V-Ray RenderID and Coverage passes

Here is a macro for Fusion that uses the RenderID and Coverage passes from V-Ray and combine them using color pickers for easy use. There is a default of 20 color pickers for 20 masks. I am quite happy and proud of it and use it in production myself.

Disclaimer: There are so many awesome tech guys out there and I am not one of them. So if you have any problems with them I am not sure how much I can help. I am also sure that it can be optimized quite a lot but I am not that good.

Please do me a favour, if you like the macro I would love to hear it on a quick email: thomas@thomasbanner.dk

If you are using Digital Fusion for making VFX and quickly need some god rays, fake volume light etc. I have made a macro to do the trick for you instead of having to spend way too much on buying a plugin. It has some nice features like flickering and noise but also a couple of bugs when trying to make an instance copy of it. So I advice not to do that until I make a new version.

It has been used in production at Gungho VFX and at Wil Film for LEGO Ninjago.

If you make something cool with it I would love to see it! :-) thomas@thomasbanner.dk
