As I've mentioned in past posts, the grass layers are transparent since it was frame painted using water colours. WITH a solid brush, it doesnt have the same feel and destroys the whole concept of our film to start with.
We've had many ideas and attempts to fix this through editing or rendering settings.
Dan then suggested using the LUMA key in AFTEREFFECTS to key out whiteness of the layers when rendered separately. Truth is this worked. However, Iredia and I have both decided, since it makes the grass look so plain and flat, we rather stick to have transparent grass, that way not only does it not destroy how shot, but it'll also have this weird feature within the shot where you get see through grass. This could technically come off as an artistic style since when you watch real grass move in the wind. You obviously see each individual strand move, and also whatevers behind the grass because of this.Where as in the animated version we've made. The grass would then illustrate a patch of grass. So for it to seem see through would just come natural to a person. =D
Logically thinking this over that is...
But if you dont see that, Then I suppose its a technical problem we havent been able to solve =)
By accepting it as a style, - I guess there was no problem to start with? =DD
