Some amazing points in comp and how they use deep compositing. I’ve learned about deep but have been afraid to take it on in a project, i think i may just have to start if i hope to one day work for WETA. Very nice to know and how they render their layers. I hate rendering lights in layers so its good that they share that same sentiment.
great overall pcast!
