This page provides information about the Total Light Render Channel in V-Ray for Blender.


Overview

The Total Light Render Channel is a color image that includes the effects of both direct and indirect lighting on materials in the scene, including the diffuse component. It is a result of adding the Lighting and GI render channels or multiplying the Raw Total Light and Diffuse render channels.
