Another idea would be to provide two depth passes (front and back) to give it
volume instead of constant thickness...

It would actually be nice to have a thickness knob in the DeepFromImage node
that does this.
For now using the expression is the only way I believe (like Michael suggested):
set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 7.0 v5
push $cut_paste_input
Camera2 {
translate {0 0 1.48019}
name Camera1
selected true
xpos -109
ypos -593
}
set Ne0cf8c00 [stack 0]
Dot {
name Dot30
selected true
xpos -85
ypos -314
}
push $Ne0cf8c00
CheckerBoard2 {

ypos -692

Have you tried doing something like adding an expression to deep.back in a
DeepExpression node?
Like :
deep.front + offset

My question to this subject is actually different... What about Sample?
Currently, if I take any ScanlineRender and attach DeepFromImage, it creates
only one sample. Is there any way to spread it in the space into multiply
samples? Any secret Expressions or smart tool you can share? Converting Nuke's
particles into Deep is fun, especially integrating with Maya Deep Renders, but
they are still only one sample deep. Any workarounds?

Yes, it's definitely going to be handy to have deep output (soon, I hear). I'm
generating deep holdout geometry right now so I can hold out the cg from the
plate. I'm projecting roto shapes on to many bits of overlapping geo (not
cards) and each one is getting its own ScanlineRender.

DeepFromImage works fine as long as you don't have occluding objects (or need
to get in between self-occluding edges of a single object), which is why I'm
gagging to see deep output from the ScanlineRender node myself (last year Jon
said we'd get it in March, any ETA??).
Last time I had to do a bunch of particle sprites to combine with deep renders,
I had to divvy up my Nuke scene into blocks of geo/particles that did not
overlap in depth, render them, DeepFromImage them, DeepMerge them all together,
then I was ready to roll. It worked great, just wasn't as straight forward as I
had liked.
We are getting there though...

Ha, we both made the mistake of calling it DeepToImage (of course I meant
DeepFromImage...)

Perfect!
I wasn't expecting a scanline renderer into a deep from image to work like that
but that's great.

Yes, kind of. (it has limitation like sample 1 only)
Create card, Scanlinerender with your camera. Normal 3D setup. Right after
scanlinerender place deepToImage. This will convert your 3D render into Deep.
The deep will be matched to your Maya renders.
Let me know if you have questions.
Cheers,
Lev
