The creation of render elements is available from two places in the Asset Editor: from the Create Asset button and the Render Elements category icon (top). If the Render Elements category is empty, left- or right-clicking the icon prompts you to create a new asset. Otherwise, it selects the category in which case right-click opens the creation menu.

The Asset creation dropdown lists remain active when the Ctrl (Cmd on Mac OS) key is held, allowing the creation of multiple assets in quick succession. The Asset creation dropdown lists can be activated via the Create Asset button or the Asset Category icons. 

• V-Ray always anti-aliases with respect to the RGB color channel. Therefore other channels may appear jagged or noisy in areas where V-Ray has placed fewer samples.
• Render elements will render in Distributed Rendering mode.
• Render elements require additional storage when rendering and thus increase the amount of RAM taken during the rendering. When rendering to the V-Ray VFB, you can reduce this memory by rendering directly to a .vrimg file on disk and not storing the final image in memory.
• Render elements may slightly slow down the final image rendering, depending on the number of elements that are selected. They have no effect on GI/reflection etc. calculations.
• Creating or removing render elements does not work during interactive rendering. The changes take effect only after the render process is restarted.
• The context options of the Color Slot allow to Copy and Paste a color from one color slot to another, as well as to Reset the color selection to a default value.
• A new option allows VFB color corrections to be applied to each of the render channels when they are saved to disk as separate image files.
