AOC pass only Tweet

[rustyippolito]

Is there a way to render only the ambient occlusion pass without a "MAIN" pass? Trying to speed up render times for when we only need AOC pass...

Hmm, I don't think so. The beauty pass is always rendered, as far as I know.

Thanks,

Switch the kernel to info channels and set it to AO.

[juanjgon]

Ah, yes, true. Sorry. You can use the infochannel kernel to render some of the passes without rendering the beauty pass using the conventional kernel. I'll try to remember this for the future

Thanks,
