As more and more freelancers are taking on the RenderStreet One monthly plan for professional work, we have been receiving requests to add support for Multilayer EXR output for this plan. This was necessary for artists that have a pipeline built around this format or those who were using external compositing tools that needed the Cryptomatte data available, and we wanted to accommodate the request.
Starting now, Multilayer EXR is available on RenderStreet One. As EXR files using lossless compression can be extremely large, the monthly plan only supports DWAA compression. Our research has shown that DWAA produces a very good output and at the same time keeps the file size to a fraction of the lossless one. The compression will be set up automatically by our system when you launch the render, so there is nothing special needed to prepare the file.
Lossless Multilayer EXR output will continue to remain available with our on-demand and Studio plans, as it was until now.
Happy rendering!
