How to render ONLY Post-Pass or Reflect-Pass

[Chriz]

Hi,

here is my scenario:

I rendered a scene with lot of frames... it took a while Now i need some beautypasses i didn´t render yet. Is there a way to render for example ONLY the "Post-Pass" or the "SSS-Pass"? I can´t figure out, how to do this.

I know the infopasses can be rendered one by one, without the Full RGB Image. Is it possible with the beautypasses too?

Thanks for answering ,

beauty passes is generated on full frame rendering. so you have to run again same render with enough max samples. Also info passes are rendered after beauty phase on a second phase. But you can save all passes without main image. just leave empty the path of save image.

Thank you aoktar,

so that is what i started with while waiting for an answer: I am rendering all fullframes again with a little less samples to get the beautypasses.

Nice option to save each pass in a folder!

Thanks a lot for answering.

Have a nice day,

I know it's been a while since this post but I have a similar issue. I'm working with a render farm. They render .exr multipasses files with every passes in it EXCEPT Post. Is there any way I can render only post effect in local machine so it doesn't last that long? The rest of the render would be rendered in the farm.

Thanks!

Hi,
thankfully, the Post Effect pass is different from Beauty passes, and you can set the Kernel Max Sampling to only 16 or 32, to have a clean Post Effect pass.

Great to know, so basically extremely low settings and disable beauty and pass except from post I guess.

Thanks beppe!
