if you code your shaders in VOPS, and say you want to grab an output of a VOP, how do you know what are the variable names to put in the deep raster tab?

do you have to convert to VEX and go hunting for it?

Hey,
Just put a Parameter VOP where ever you want to output a deep raster, and turn on Export. The name of the parameter is the name of the deep raster variable in the Deep Raster tab. That's it!

duh!

thanks Peter!!

err…the solution is simple enough right?…so I did as you said..but still no results..the pic file turns out empty…and at render time I get:

“Variable <spec_pass> not found”

I tried both with and without filling the “File/Plane name” field..
if I dont' fill that field, I get an RGBA image that has the luminance in it…
still no layers…

I'm picking vector, 8bit…the variables are all colors…

sooo…any ideas?
