AdamM Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I have rendered a cryptomatte sequence. I import the sequence with a file node, I can see the different coloured mattes. I connect that to a cryptomatte node so that I can choose different mattes. With the Cryptomatte node active Left clicking on layer within the composite view does not add it to the matte selection. What could I be doing wrong? Is there a way to check if cryptomatte data is missing something?, surely If I can see the sequence and different coloured mattes its fine?

DaJuice Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Working fine here. You don't mention what version of Houdini you are using or where the cryptomattes came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamM Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Sorry.. 18.0.46 FX I rendered the cryptomattes using a mantra out node. I think I may of discovered what the problem is. I tried re-rendering the cryptomattes with the lights OFF to make them render quickly. Even though the mattes were visible it appears maybe the mettadata was missing. A quick re-render of a single frame with the lights ON and the mettadata came back. Rendering the entire sequence now with lights on.

davpe Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 hm that still is an odd behavior. why would missing lights make cryptomatte not work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
