Example 1: Render elements and combinations

Here are some examples of render elements and their combinations. Note that the original elements were generated by V-Ray on one pass (no re-rendering required).

 

Normally, render elements are added to each other in order to reproduce the final result; however, there are a few exceptions:

• the Raw GI and Raw Lighting elements must be multiplied by the Diffuse element before they are added to the final image.
• the Shadow element is not, strictly speaking, a part of the image; however, it can be added to the Raw Lighting element to adjust the shadow intensity. Simply adding the two elements produces lighting as though no shadows were computed.

 

Also note that multiplying the Raw GI element by the Diffuse element will give the Global Illumination element; multiplying the Raw Lighting element by the Diffuse element gives the Lighting element. This gives the user more freedom for adjusting the scene lighting.

 

RGB color - this is the combination of all render elements	Diffuse color only	GI only	Raw Light only
Reflection Only	Refraction Only	Raw Reflection Only	Raw Refraction
Shadows Only	Raw GI only	Normals only	Render ID only
