Hello all,

I have a shot where I have furry characters in fog. FOr the fog I just have a static Maya fluid. Now the characters are at different distances from the camera so some are in more fog than others. I want to render it separately and just put it on top in Nuke, so I render it with a cutout of the characters, meaning I render the characters with a solid black lambert with its Matte Opacit turned to 0. Is there a way to do this with fur? Because the geo of the characters doesn't have any alpha and gives a clean cutout for the fog, but the fur's alpha is a solid white.

Also, if what I'm doing is not the way to go about this, or there are any better ways of doing this, please let me know

Thanks again
