I tried to create a depth render but couldnt figure out how. I rotated the object to show you there is something there.

You may also call it an alpha or a height map.

Is there a way to create a black and white render with height info in the render room?

Tested it works. Notes to self if I forget since nobody else replied:

- File/Export/ Export Depth Along Y

- Make sure Y (top) is up

- Uncheck everything

- Patch size 100. Higher makes small, lower almost crashed 3dc

- Be aware even though I select tif, 3dc tries to export as exr. tif is 32bit still.

- Can go 16K, huge file size. Nice :)

- Important: Zb couldnt read 32bit tif, needed to convert to 16 bit in PS. Displaces nice.

- Exr export is a mess. Avoid for now. Havent tried other formats.
