  How to render a scene without Ambient Occlusion but the multi-pass with Ambient Occlusion

  Posted by Joseph Samaroo on July 31, 2015 at 3:13 pm

  I have a scene where I want the scene to be rendered without Ambient Occlusion, but I want a multi-pass with the ambient occlusion(this is intended for compositing purposes)

  In order to do this I first have to disable Ambient Occlusion to render the scene without it, but doing so makes the multi-pass render blank.

  So I have to render the scene again but with the Ambient Occlusion on so I can have the multi-pass rendered. Even when I uncheck the save for the regular render, it still renders the full scene in order to get the ambient occlusion.

  Is there any way to have the scene rendered WITHOUT AO but render a multi-pass WITH the AO by rendering it only ONCE instead of TWICE?

  On the Ambient Occlusion Tab (in the render settings) uncheck Apply to Project
