Here’s my composition for inserting 3D objects into a 2D image.
I still have a slight white edge around the back most object, is there any way to fine tune the masks that anyone knows of?
Thanks.

I love the scene.
The ‘white edge’ doesn’t bother me. Part of the alien atmosphere…
Are you using mask ID’s. Because some solutions create none aliased transparencies.
Maybe render is on a darker background first?

Thanks!
Haha, it doesn’t bother me much either. I was just curious about fine tuning.
Currently they do use ID masks with anti-aliasing. I also fiddled with the light a bunch to try and improve how it looked with no significant results that didn’t ruin the whole scene.
That’s a good shout. I’ll try rendering on a darker background. I was also looking at using custom painted masks which worked a bit (once I got my head around how to use them with the mix nodes). I was just hoping there was an easier way.
Thanks again
