Re: multi camera projections

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Hi guys,

thanks for the suggestions. Peter´s workflow is similar to what
I´d do with ZBrush/ZAppLink to Photoshop, it´s just that this
time there´s loads of objects, instances and no good UVsets.

Coming to think of it, I guess what I really am after is a way
to keep the projections "alive", blend them using the painted
holdout mattes and only rendermap if absolutely neccessary,
saving on having to unwrap all those many little bits and pieces.

Stupid enough, I´m sure I had an appropriate shading network
preset for this fiddled together allready but I can´t find it anymore.

Must be on backup somewhere, the entire process was inspired
by Jeremy Pronk´s Projection shader www.thereisnoluck.com

It´s most likely that mine was not that elaborate, thought.
Oh, I don´t know. Maybe I´ll just take a brake for today...

Cheers

tim
