This page provides information on the Sheen Filter Render Element.
Overview
The Sheen Filter Render element is analogous to the Reflection Filter Render Element.
The Sheen Filter Render Element stores reflection information calculated from the VRayMtl Sheen Layer. Surfaces with no Sheen values set in its material(s) will contain no information in the render pass and will therefore render as black.
While the Raw Sheen Reflection Render Element gives the full reflection of objects reflecting in the scene, Sheen Filter RE shows 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 reflection channel defines what is being reflected in the image. When these two elements are multiplied, the true level of reflection is given and produces Sheen Reflection RE. Using these component parts of the reflection, you can better fine tune the reflection in your final composite.
To use render elements, select from the Available render elements column and click the Add button to add the passes you wish to generate at render time. When you render the scene, the added render elements listed in the column on the right, will also render, which can be viewed from the VFB window's channel drop-down menu.
For more information on the parameters on this dialog, see the Render Elements tab page.
