Hello,guys!just rendering volume with redshift ,and need depth(Zdepth)for compositing.I have searched documentation and solution on web,but no answer…
So..i just wonder everyone here when meets this kind of situation…how did you guys solve it ??Or maybe any other things like depth that redshift can provide for compositor?

Zdepth makes no sense for semi transparent renders.. you will need to render out a deep camera map pass.

Deep don't work with volumes yet in Redshift.

thank you,i checked this thread and found it is a mantra way..so Redshift cant provide this deep camera map pass?

So I have to change to Mantra to get Deep, or is there a way for Redshift to get a fake Deep for volume?

Need to use Mantra.

Mantra renders volumes fast, as long you don't use indirect lights.
