| This element allows you to write the result of a V-Ray compatible material into a separate element. The material can be a top-level material or a sub-material of VRayMtlBlend. | |||||||||
| Normals | ✗ |
| ✗ | ✗ |
| ✗ | The surface normals in screen space (which is not the same as camera space). To output the normals in camera/object/world space, use VRaySamplerInfo render element. | ||||||||
✗ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | The object G-buffer ID (set through the node's Properties dialogue). | |||||||||
| Object Object Select | ✗ | ✗ | Not Available | Not Available | ✗ | ✗ | Stores only the object(s) called out with a specific Object or Material ID. | ||||||||
| Raw Raw Diffuse Filter | ✗ | ✗ | Not Available | Not Available | ✗ | ✗ | A solid mask of raw diffuse surface color information not affected by fresnel falloff. | ||||||||
| Raw Raw GI | ✓ | ✓ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The raw diffuse global illumination (not multiplied by the diffuse surface color). Only present if Global illumination is enabled. | ||||||||
✓ | ✓ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The raw diffuse direct illumination before it's multiplied by the diffuse surface color. | |||||||||
| Raw Raw Reflection | ✗ | ✗ | Not Available | Not Available | ✗ | ✗ | The pure surface reflection, before it is multiplied by the reflection filter color. Not visible in Reflection Element when Consistent Lighting Elements is enabled. | ||||||||
✓ | ✓ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The pure surface refraction before it is multiplied by the refraction filter color. | |||||||||
| Raw Raw Shadow | ✗ | ✗ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The raw light that was blocked by other objects. | ||||||||
| Raw Raw Total Light | ✓ | ✓ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The sum of all raw lighting - direct and indirect. | ||||||||
| ReflectionReflection | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | The reflections on the surface. Not visible in Reflection Element when Consistent Lighting Elements is enabled. | ||||||||
| RefractionRefraction | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | The refractions on the surface. | ||||||||
| Render Render ID | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | The node render ID of the object that contributes most to the pixel value. | ||||||||
| Sample Sample Rate | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Shows an image where the pixel brightness is directly proportional to the number of samples taken at this pixel. | ||||||||
| Sampler Sampler Info |
|
|
|
|
|
| Provides information about various aspects of the shaded points - position, normal, bump normal, reflection/refraction vectors and UVW coordinates. Can be used f.e. for world position passes or normal passes. Using V-Ray Next or V-Ray 3 Adv. CPU - this Render Element will work correctly only with Bucket sampler and Enable Filtering is off. | ||||||||
| Self Self Illumination | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | The self-illumination of the surface. | ||||||||
| ShadowShadow | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | The diffuse light that was blocked by other objects. | ||||||||
| SpecularSpecular | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | The surface specular highlights. Specular should hold direct illumination - illumination from the fire comes as GI so result here should be correct: the element is not affected by the Fire. | ||||||||
| Total Total Light | ✓ | ✓ | Not Available | Not Available | ✓ | ✓ | The total lighting in the scene, direct and indirect. | ||||||||
| Unclamped Unclamped Color | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | The unclamped image color. | ||||||||
| VelocityVelocity | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | The surface velocity. This channel will not be generated if 3d motion blur is enabled. | ||||||||
| ZDepthZDepth |
|
|
|
| ✗ | ✓ | The z-depth of the surface. Using V-Ray Next or V-Ray 3 Adv. CPU - this Render Element will work correctly only with Bucket sampler and Enable Filtering is off. |
