Would anyone happen to know if this product works in the latest version of DS? I need to get Z-Depth maps for post work.

    I don't know if it works or not.  However, I do know that Iray can do depth maps, If you go to render settings>advanced, you can add a canvas and set it to depth. This will export what looks like a blank white .hdr.  Open it in any program that can read .hdrs and adjust the exposure, In the current photoshop version I create an exposure adjustment layer and adjust the exposure and offset to something I like.  Then you can convert your image to a jpg and yse it for whatever you want.

    Hmm... All I'm getting is a pure white image and no option to save as an .HDR? I think you meant .EXR and I finally figured out that the images are being saved in a folder independently.

    The EXR needs to be normalized. The whole process is discussed here.

    Yeah, I got it figured out. and I see trans mapped objects are shown as polygonal shapes instead of their texture mapped shapes. Thanks for the link.
