Does anyone have a good reference for layer pass order and blend settings for the individual render passes? I use Adobe After Effects but any guide will work. There are a few YouTube videos but it's hit or miss on what pass they use. Wondering if there is a list that has recommendations for most of the output that Octane offers .

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
in general, most of the passes (Beauty, Denoising, Lighting, Materials passes) have to be used in Linear-Add mode, since you are adding one pass over the others, but there are some exceptions.
For the Linear ROW workflow, you need to use a different setup:

While other passes, like Cryptomatte and Info Channel passes, have to be used in a different way.
For example, the AO. or Shadow passes have to be used in Multiply mode.

That's for the help. That points me in the right direction.
