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.

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,
