I've done some simple animations in Bryce and would like to get some more use out of them. But to do so, I'd need to get rid of the background behind the object...
So, I have the animation sequence: someRender001.bmp, someRender002.bmp,...
And the mask render for the animation sequence: someRenderAlpha001.bmp, someRenderAlpha002.bmp,...
What I'd like to do is combine the two into a series of images that has the mask applied so I can get an image sequence with proper transparancy. I've asked at some PhotoShop places to see if there was a way to combine two file sets using the batch commands to produce a third set in .png format, but no answers so far. I'm not sure it's possible even, but it would be nice to know one way or the other.
Even if PhotoShop can't manipulate the images in this manner, maybe there is an independent app that could do such a thing?
Only option left would be to apply the mask render to the proper channel manually for every single freakin' frame to make the new sequence. But that's going to get old fast... There should be a better way.
