Render info channels only?

Hi,
Is it possible in C4D to render info channels only?
I have Render passes enabled with Render Layer & Object ID checked.
I have Save in the left column unchecked, but when I render to picture viewer it still renders a full color image before it renders the render layer.
My only workaround so far was to set the max samples to 1 so the beauty render is fast since I don't need it again anyway.

Normally this may not be an issue, but I realized I needed the info pass after the fact.

Grateful for any insight.

Daniel

Not possible. Also it would not increase the render speed if that's even possible. You're doing fine with maxsamples=1.
