This page provides information about the Back to Beauty Render Element in V-Ray for SketchUp.
Overview
The V-Ray Back to Beauty Render Element expands as all beauty elements for the actual rendering. In the VFB, this render element creates a folder in Composite named Back To Beauty containing all elements with the appropriate blend modes. The elements that are used for the beauty rebuild are - Background, Lighting, Global Illumination, Reflection, Specular, Refraction, Self Illumination, Caustics, Subsurface Scattering and Atmosphere.
When setting the Generic material Reflection or Refraction's Affect Channels option to All Channels, be aware that the information of the respective component affects all render elements, therefore the Back to Beauty composition will not match the RGB result from the render.
