This page provides information about the Object Select render element in V-Ray for Cinema 4D.


Overview



The Object Select Render Element stores only the object(s) called out with a specific Object or Material ID.

This effect is reversible to create a render element that excludes a particular object or objects according to Object or Material ID.

When rendering this element out, it will also include a filter and alpha pass separately to help make it easier to use when compositing.
