This page provides information on the V-Ray Standard Render Vars LOP node.
Overview
V-Ray Standard Render Vars is a V-Ray specific HDA LOP node that simplifies the render element (AOV) setup. It provides easy access to all commonly used AOVs.
Tabs
Beauty
The Beauty tab provides a basic Back-to-Beauty composite with additional settings for each beauty element for the actual rendering.
Utility
The Utility tab provides common utility elements used in compositing: Shadow, Matte Shadow, Normals, Bump Normals, Velocity, Z-Depth, and Denoiser. Each element has settings for further adjustments.
Sampler
The Sampler tab provides settings for outputs similar to the Ray-Level events for Karma.
Denoiser
The Denoiser tab provides settings for denoising the render.
LPE
The Light Path Expressions tab provides a dynamic menu that generates Light Selects. See the Advanced Light Path Expressions page for more information.
Matte
The Matte tab provides a dynamic menu that generates Cryptomattes.
Cryptomatte
The Cryptomatte tab provides V-Ray Cryptomatte settings similar to those of the V-Ray Cryptomatte Render Element available in the |out| network.
AOVs Setup
To add AOVs use the V-Ray Standard Render Vars LOP. Enable the render elements you need. If necessary, tweak their options too, from their respective Options rollouts.
Then connect a Render Product LOP and drag the AOVs from the Geometry Spreadsheet into the LOP's Ordered Render Vars field (Render Product LOP > Standard tab). Alternatively, add them from the Ordered Render Vars dropdown menu.
Finally, connect a Render Settings LOP. In its Standard tab, add the Render Product LOP to the Ordered Products field.
