  • Render Object buffer without rendering main pass

    Posted by Peter Young on May 16, 2012 at 1:01 am

    Hi All,

    Basically I want to render only an object buffer pass.

    I have a main beauty pass that I now realise I need an object buffer for. I don’t want to spend the time rendering the main pass again so I turned the check-box against the main pass in the save section of the render settings off and left the multipass object buffer check-box turned on. C4D still seems to render the main pass to generate the object buffer pass.

    Any clues would be very appreciated.

    Cheers Peter

    Peter,

    Apply a red, blue an green luminance material to whichever objects you need mattes for, then turn off all lights and that will render really quick. Then use the rgb mattes in your comp.

    Best,
    Craig
