Dear All,

I am trying to render an animation showing an aircraft flying through fog/clouds. I'd now like to produce the final renders in 1080p. What's the best way of going about this? Render two .exr files with two mantra nodes, one for the plane and one for the fog, so I can later on fine tune both elements separately?

And regarding the fog .exr, do I add my aircraft model to “forced matte” in the mantra node, so the fog behind the aircraft does not appear in the file?

Many thanks for any help! Image attached.
