Cryptomatte (Compatible with IFFS 2018.1.0 and up)

Download this shader

Cryptomatte - extract up to four mattes from the ID/coverage pairs generated by Arnold/Clarisse/Mantra’s Cryptomatte shaders.

There’s no need for this shader unless using very old Flame versions - since 2020 there’s a built-in node for it: https://help.autodesk.com/view/FLAME/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-0402116E-B47C-4E32-9010-DB8C334853E0

It’s crucially important to use the floating colour sampler window - pick the colours from the first input, add them to the floating swatches and only then transfer them to the shader controls! Auto Key needs to be off as well. This works in Flame 2018 Update 1 and above. See demo:

How to get help with this particular shader

Sadly, the custodians likely will not be able to explain to you how a shader works or debug its code, or fix it for you. That is the (volountary) role of the shader author.

If the shader does not work on your system or you have questions about it - read the shader description, and try to find the email address of the shader author. Contact them for any issues – letting them know whether you are on Mac or Linux, what version of IFFS you are running etc. will likely help. Be kind and respectful. If you can't get hold of the author - you can try asking in the Logik forum at logik.tv and ask whether anyone could help you debug a particular shader not working.
