= SYMPTOMS =

After compositing a Particle-rendered sequence with a SOFTIMAGE 3D-rendered sequence, the resulting composited sequence shows the emitting Particles offset from the SOFTIMAGE 3D objects used as Particle sources.

= CAUSE =

After checking the pixel ratio of both layers at frame 1 (using ‘infopic’), the Particle layer had a pixel ratio of 0.9, while the SOFTIMAGE 3D layer’s pixel ratio was 1.0.

The offset was caused by compositing sequences with incompatible pixel ratios.

= RESOLUTION =

Before compositing a Particle sequence with a SOFTIMAGE 3D sequence, make sure the pixel ratio is the same for both.

= STATUS =

This behavior is by design.
