Often sorry for the question.

Using the render layer mask instead of coming up channels to render the layer twice took the main render the default rendering is the main calculation does not only render layer mask can pull the output there any?

XXX_layer001_Main0001
XXX_layer001_RLMa0001
XXX_layer001_Main0002
XXX_layer001_RLMa0002

The rendering comes this way.

I do not want to render unnecessary the main preventing unnecessary waste of resources.

Can I turn off the Main render?

This setting is in use.

This is a good question. Sorry, I think that currently the beauty pass must be always rendered, even to get only the render layer mask. Standalone seems to have the same behavior, the main pass is always rendered.

I suppose that in this case you could use only few samples to get a fast render.

Thanks,
