I want to render some scenes in Vue 6 Infinite to import into After Effects.  I read the After Effects docs where they mention formats, RLA, PIC & ZPIC, EI.  Anyway I tried RLA and PIC and neither would open in AE.  RLA was a general error read message and for PIC, AE said it didn't look like a SoftImage (which makes sense :))

So anyone have any tricks up their sleeve ?  I want the 3d information handed over to AE so I can use the 3D channel effects.  So just to confirm, I'm not exporting an object, but a scene.

TIA

How are you setting up the render ? there's an option, bottom left of the render setup window, that gives you different ways to save G-Buffer information which I believe is what you are looking for

Well I had finally had some success last night.  When I set up the options and proceeded to render to disk , Vue would issue a popup about disabling some things, one of which was the Z-plane.  It warned me if I didn't disable memory consumption would slow the system down considerably.  Once I decided to say do not disable things started working. And yes I see G-Buffer but I did not need to choose to make it work. Seems depending on the preset quality it is only available to some like Ultra.

yeah, I should have mentioned that the G-buffer stuff is only available in Ultra and User modes.  I've not had occasion to use it so I have no idea what it does or how you turn it on :)

That's cool, you can turn it on with those presets, well at least they are not grayed out at that point.
