Yes, we are trying to post DOF in After Effects.
I had look at the revisionfx option before, I will take another look.
Others also suggest the Lenscare product.
We still wish we had the Evasion XDOF option, they don't
seem to answer emails...oh well
Thanks for your input.

Hey. Are you going to do post DOF in After Effects?

the zpic format doesn't work very well with AE In my experience. I would go for a 16bit (whateverformat) as Alan states.

IMHO AE is not very good at dealing with RPF files either... Isn't that a MAX/Discreet format?

Check out these guys for some very nice Plugins for postwork in AE. They have some nice walkthroughs for most 3D apps I think.

This is our first venture in using zpic from XSI and sending to our Aftereffect's guy.
We are using XSI 6.01 and he is using Aftereffect 7.0
We gave him a pic file and a zpic file to test.
XSI rendered out a "test.pic" and a "test.zt"
It didn't work in Aftereffect until we change the zpic file's extention to .zpic
The next problem we have is the zpic data is inverted.


Anyone else run into this problem or we doing something incorrect  here.

The Aftereffect guy enquired why SXI/MR. doesn't generate RPF (Rich Pixel Format) files
like many other 3D packages.


Thanks,
