#Nuke Essentials: Multipass Rendering Compositing (Merged AOVs)

In this tutorial, we learn how to set up Arnold's merged AOVs inside Autodesk Maya. Then we take our result into Nuke and we use a variety of techniques to extract the passes from our exr file using an industry-friendly workflow. I squeezed in a lot of tips and tricks so I am sure there's something for everyone. Enjoy. :)

Perfect in every way. Loved both multipass videos.

Little tip: instead of connecting every single shuffle node to the read node, you could connect all of them to a dot node connected to the read node. That's much more versatile, because in case you need to change the read node to another image, you will just need to conect one node (the dot node) and everything will still be connected right away.
Cheers.

If you write to Shuffle Label [value in1] "showing the layer name on the shuffle node" , maybe you want to use it, btw nice tutorial bro !!

good tutorial, but how do you use the other colours in Your ID map like the pink and torquise colours?

[sanjuseb]
