Sample Rate – Shows an image where the pixel brightness is directly proportional to the number of samples taken at this pixel.

Bump Normal – The normals generated by bump maps.

DR Bucket – Allows you to extract an image which shows which bucket was rendered by which machine during distributed rendering.

Normals – The surface normals.

Material ID – Provides a mask for individual objects and materials that are easy to select in compositing software. 

Material ID (no AA) – Provides a mask for individual objects and materials that are easy to select in compositing software. 

Render ID  –  – Creates selection masks based on the node handle of each object.
