Hi Kim,
   By Z-depth I presume you mean z-pics ?? if that is the case why do you
think they are a waste of time.
  I use them every now and again, and they work fine using After Effects !!
Just wondering why you didn't like them

Cheers

ALEX

Or just render out a depth pass. Either use the built in Xsi one or do it by
putting a grad texture on the whole scene. Put all the scene geometry in a
group, put a texture projection and material on the group. It's a whole lot
easier to control than the builtin depth pass and for me, zdepth is a waste
of time.

I
