Render Passes Made Easy in Unreal Engine 5 - Cryptomattes, Transparency, and Custom Masks!

more of my stuff! ⬇

Hello friends, wanted to make this one as I know it can be tricky and not very straightforward to get some standard and basic render passes out of UE5 with Movie Render Queue. I also tried being a bit more concise with this one, so hopefully a bit more digestible! Hope this helps some of you out there, see ya in the next one ✌🏽🫶🏽

thank you very much for this concise and well explained tutorial!

Ali, you're the best!! For those whose layers render in black, when rendering different .jpg layers, it doesn't support Nanite meshes, at least in 5.3... You can add the console variable in the Movie Render Queue: r.nanite 0

This is huge. I've wondered about being able to export ID masks, thank you a lot.

[RWBKelly]

Thanks dude. Was trying to figure out how to render out an emmisive material on an actor that has several materials and crypto looks like it's doing the job. Cheers

[StepanHKA]

Love the intro!!! Great quality content!

[halimgarciagendis]

This is Gold!!! Thanks for sharing it!!!

[lukegordonharris]

Gold standard as always mate. It's still funny to me that AE has the cryptomatte plugin built in, whereas Fusion requires you to install it, through the reactor package manager.

Great, short Video - thank you for doing it!!

[Unknowable_Void]

Thanks for the tutorial ali!
I've attempted the jpg actor layers workflow in 5.3 but had no luck. seems to export the beauty pass no problem but the actor layer passes are blacked out entirely. Have you encountered this at all?
cheers

Thank you really. For cryptomattes for animation how we do this? and another question can you please explain the level on outline and how we add item to it like what you explain the layers . thank you

[izntech]

Excellent explanation! How can I activate transparency through the alpha channel in mirrors that reflect the skylight? I'm rendering using pathtracer

Hey, thanks for the video, I tested it with panoramic rendering but unfortunately it didn't work, any tips?

[bahai]

I render the actor layer with jpeg but one image is rendered with the remaining object only black. Do you have any way to fix it?
