The videos on this are lengthy, no fluff, and extremely informative for whatever 3d and comp package you choose to use.

I bought this set this morning and can’t wait to watch them!

Great work Kert! Looking forward to future videos!

Hi Steve, I dont specifically deal with working in a linear workflow in this tutorial, so if that’s something you were hoping to get out of it, the’s not much info about it. All the major topic points are listed above. Thanks!

I’m on a mac using c4d & After effects (not fusion) – just starting switching to linear workflow.

Will this be of use to me?

Thanks Kert,

I’m back on 8.5, which I don’t believe has ambient occlusion (it may be well hidden, but I really don’t think it’s there). Still, the theory is useful.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Rj0,

I used C4D R11.5, but it doesn’t really matter what version of C4D, or any 3D app you use for that matter. As long as you’re able to output most of the passes, the bulk of this tutorial is spent showing you how to use the passes in 2D, rather than how to get them out of 3D.

Very interesting. Seriously considering.

One question though, as my version of C4D is rather old, what version did you use?

This is a very informative tutorial and goes a LONG way to explaining how the various render passes in 3D software (we use Lightwave) can be used. I have plugged this over at the Newtek forum as I think a great many of us have access to these various render layers/buffers, but don’t know HOW they can be used. This has been very helpful and I could not recommend this higher. Thanks Kert for taking the time to make this. Looking forward to more tutes on compositing within Fusion!
