Overlaying Multiple ViewShifts

You can daisy-chain multiple ViewShifts together to build up a multi-layer composite. This is intended mainly for quick previews. Each of the ViewShifts should be set up and run manually using Run Now! on the ViewShift panel, working your way through the chain, including writing the results to a file. (See the next section to learn to run them all automatically.)

Note : If you're daisy-chaining ViewShifts, the output Start Frames should match in each phase, to avoid introducing inadvertent shifts between the frames.

It's only sort-of a nodal compositing chain (it's really intended for solving!): when the phase runs, it goes and re-reads the output file of its input node (instead of the original shot), writing the new output file, which can then serve as input for the next phase, if there is one. Each phase is completed before the next begins.

This might be upgraded to a more compositing-like pipeline if interest warrants.
