Warping With the SpeedBump Macro

This macro creates a nifty bump with a shadow on your title.

Utility Macros

The following macros let you address Maya’s Z-depth output, float elements used with
the screen node, and let you manipulate the DOD.

MayaZ Depth Macro

The MayaZ macro converts the -1/z values that Maya outputs for the Z channel.

ScreenFloat Macro

This macro lets you use the Screen function with float elements. You have to set the
high value. If you use the normal float, you get negative artifacts, both aesthetically
and numerically.

CopyDOD Macro

This macro copies, adds, or intersects the DOD between two images, and lets you set
the background color.
