Raw Coat Reflection

The Raw Coat Reflection Render Channel is analogous to the Raw Reflection Render Channel; the main difference is that all Coat render channels can be subtracted from the main back-to-beauty composite, graded, and added back in.

The Raw Coat Reflection Render Channel stores reflection information calculated from the materials' reflection values in the scene. Surfaces with no reflection values set in their materials contain no information in the render channel, which means these areas render black. When the Raw Coat Reflection Render channel is multiplied by the Coat Filter, the Coat Render Channel is produced.

The Raw Coat render channel gives the full reflection of objects reflecting in the scene, while the Coat Filter sets how much of that reflection should come through in the composite. In other words, the filter defines the strength of the reflection, while the raw image defines what is being reflected in the image. When these two channels are multiplied, the true level of reflection is given as the Coat Render channel. Using these component parts of the reflection, you can fine-tune the reflection in your final composite.
