More Render Tests

I've been at it again playing around with render tests, this time most of the settings have been kept the same, the difference being I have been testing out the background I was planning on using for the animation to give it the feel that it was taking place in a school exercise book. The exterior scenes work very well with the colour pass set to darken, however interior shots that have more ambient occlusion get a bit dark. Using a dark colour layer setting helps a bit, and in this scene adjusting the brightness by about 30 brough the scene back up to the normal, without letting the lines show through the coloured portion of the scene. At the moment I am just experimenting as there are plenty of different options available to me. As I am rendering passes out as targas I have access to built in alpha channels and could do something like an opacity mask on the occlusion layer, but I would have to make sure I only knocked down the opacity in the mask so it was effecting the background rather than the actual objects as other wise it would start to ruin the nice effect my occlusion pass is giving the renders.
