Depth Compositing

Now that you’ve had some practice manipulating the camera, you need to reset it to
the default position.

4

Right-click in the Parameters tab, then choose Reset All Values from the shortcut menu.

You can make this scene more interesting by adding additional elements. The
MultiPlane node lets you add as many inputs to the node as you require.

To adjust elements in 3D compositing space:

1

Drag a noodle from the floor_plane node to the + (plus) sign at the top of the
MultiPlane1 node.

This adds a new input to the node.

You’ve connected the floor_plane, which now occupies the same space as the
wall_plane in the 3D compositing space. You’ll need to rotate and move the floor to see
it in the composite.

2

Open the Images subtab of the Parameters tab, and drag the control for layer order, so
that L2 floor_plane appears below L1 wall_plane in the list of elements.

3

Open the L2 subtree, then, in the L2_angle parameter, set xAngle to 90.

4

Set the L2_scale parameter as follows: xScale = 2, yScale = 2, zScale= 2.
