Greetings everyone,
I'm new to AE plugin development and after going diagonally through the SDK documentation, I found that we could use the Artisans plugin architecture to render a 3D scenes off-screen and integrate the resulting frames into an AE composition. For instance, I would like to access the depth buffer of that 3D scene and create a Depth Of Field effect with AE filters. Now, the doc says about Artisans:
NOTE: This API is deprecated and may go away in the future. If you’re considering developing an Artisan, please talk it over with us first.
So here I am, I'm simply wondering if there is a more suitable alternative for what I'm trying to achieve here or this type of scenario is simply out of question for future releases?
thx,
