New Features:
  • Cryptomatte masks: pick objects and materials from a V-Ray, Corona or FStorm Cryptomatte, in a list or straight in the image, and get a masked #name group for each, in new documents and when updating renders
  • Tools → Masks from Cryptomatte for the open document
  • Cryptomatte elements in the default element lists, and a Cryptomatte slot in the built-in templates
  • Create new document can save the new PSD or PSB next to the renders
  • The AI assistant can build a document from a render folder you name and save it as PSB or PSD
  • New default render elements now appear after an update, while your own elements and flags are kept
  • The panel moved to Plugins → Pulze → LayerWise
Fixes:
  • Hidden layers (Alpha, MultiMatte, ZDepth…) are now fitted too when updating to renders of another size, so their masks line up
  • Placed renders land on the canvas even when the view is zoomed or scrolled
  • Two LayerWise panels with the AI assistant on no longer take the bridge from each other
