  • Re-creating the Beauty pass from multipasses in After Effects using Arnold for Cinema 4d

    When I work using standard render I always re-create the beauty pass using my multi-pass so I can tweak reflections,shadows, etc. With Arnold there are so many different passes, and I’ve tried re-creating it to no avail. I’ve read online this:

    direct_diffuse + indirect_diffuse + direct_specular + indirect_specular + refraction + deep_scatter + mid_scatter + shallow_scatter + primary_specular + secondary_specular = Beauty

    This is mostly for nuke as you can create the RGB from a non-separated multipass. How do I do this for AE? Any people out there that have done it?

    I don’t have Arnold but I would imagine you would stack the passes using Add mode.
