    One thing that will bring this together better is comping smoke(and other effects into it to hide any seams and you can do multiple to create a whole set, also you can add lights to this and it’ll affect everything

    Just started playing with this, having a 3d program to take the file and then edit out things like the sky to then replace and comp in AE is kinda needed for any shots with excessive open sky, because the AI doesn't know what to make of that. Other than that tho and minor texture issues which are to be expected its making my life really easy. Was very intimidated to learn 3d modeling when I know all the other aspects of comping and just wanna make some videos using 3d environments, so this workaround combined with cutting out and adding additional assets + smoke and lights really sells it. A little bit of noise and a semi dramatic color correction goes far in the compositing. Hopefully the site is able to support PNGs soon and create mesh maps without the background issue.

    The ZoeDepth thing is cool, and there are some great techniques and ideas behind this. Ultimately what is lacking is the lighting of the subject on green screen and matching to the scene. This is a prime example why VFX should never be an after thought and always planned ahead of your shoot.

    Thx 4 sharing Zoedeph, your experience how to handle it in AE. In your workflow to integrate greenscreen footage, I would make a copy of the scene, make a mask of the keyed one (or a duplicate with mask output setting in Keylight) and feathering the boundries (perhaps you need another copy to fence the feathering - there are a also some other, sometimes simplier ways to get to it...), use it as a mask for the backround, so that you you get an inner outline of the backround in the siloulette, precomposing it and adjust and blend it for your needs to get a nice spill of the environment. So here too, a pretty good result is achieved and explained, but what surprises me is that the shadows are mostly neglected, overlooked or ignored. Which, among other things, perfect the illusion of a composition.

    Some of the backgrounds on the site are fantastic, but others could really use a tune up. For example, a neon city isn't very good if the lights arent flickering or changing. At that point, you might as well just make your own backgrounds. Other than that, this and the backgrounds are great!

    It looks like this Zoedepth is directly creating a depth map and displeis the regular plane accordingly. Following that logic you should be able to add light sources into your AE scene to illuminate or enhance this scene.
