Passes

Ambient_Diffuse_Pass

Pass containing all of a scene's ambient and diffuse information

Ambient_Pass

Pass containing all of a scene's ambient color.

Caustic_Pass

Pass of all of the scene's caustic effects.

Default_New_Pass

Empty pass with empty object and light partitions. Use this option to build a pass from "scratch"

Depth_Pass

Pass of the entire scene's depth information.

Also called a Z-pass, this type of pass contains depth information for objects based on the distance from the camera.

Diffuse_Pass

Pass containing all of a scene's diffuse color.

Global_Illumination_Pass

Pass of all of the scene's global illumination effects.

Glow_Pass

Pass of every selected objects' glow property.

Highlight_Pass

Pass containing the highlight of the entire scene. A highlight pass (sometimes called specular) contains all of a scene's specular highlights or hotspots.

Isolate_Matte_Pass

Matte pass of the selected objects. Each matte object is isolated from non-matte objects, meaning that a matte is generated for areas of matte objects that are overlapped by non-matte objects.

Lens_Flare_Pass

Flare pass for the selected camera or light. A lens flare partition is created for the light(s) that create the flare. Flare properties are applied to the partition and the render pass camera.

See Default_New_Pass

Reflection_Pass

Pass containing every selected object's reflections

Refraction_Pass

Pass containing every selected object's refractions

RGBA_Matte_Pass

Matte pass of the selected objects. This type of pass is regularly used to composite overlapping objects.

Background objects and lights are not rendered but matte objects are rendered with their original RGB settings.

Selective_Shadow_Pass

Shadow pass that includes only shadows projected on the selected objects.

Shadow_Pass

Shadow pass of the entire scene. Rendering a shadow on its own and being able to composite it back in the final render allows you to edit a shadow's blur, intensity, and color without any additional rendering.

Toon

Pass in which scene objects are rendered using the Toon Paint and Host material shader.

If additional inking is needed, you can apply the Toon Ink Lens shader to the camera.

Volumic_Pass

Volume pass for each selected object in your scene.

White_Matte_Pass

Matte pass with a constant white RGBA channel of selected objects. This type of pass is regularly used to composite overlapping objects.

The white matte pass renders matte objects in white, while background objects and lights are rendered black.
