This page provides information on the VRScans Zone Mask render element.
Overview
VRScans Zone Mask is available for specific scanned materials only. If a vrscan material consist of two or more clearly defined sub-materials (e.g. some fabrics with pattern), it can have an underlying map called zone that can be used for compositing purposes later on. This render element shows the zone, that is a map of the sub-materials.
The rendered image is monochrome. The white color specifies the selected zone, whereas the black color specifies the other parts of the image.
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.
