Save out Z-Depth ONLY

I don't see a way to save out just the Depth buffer after I've rendered the main render. I can set the samples to 1 and it renders fairly quickly...but didn't know if there was a way to disable saving the Beauty, even if I don't have that selected/checked on the Render Passes panel it still saves it.

Just curious if I'm missing something. Thanks.

Hmm, nope, sorry. I think that currently, it is not possible to disable the main beauty pass saving function. I'll take a look at it to see if this feature can be added from the plugin side.

Thanks,

Not a huge deal, as I know the scene has to be fully loaded to get what I'm wanting rendered...I just set the main samples to 1 and delete the Beauty pass. This only happened because we later wanted to render out Z Buffer on a previous scene that was rendered.

Thanks either way!

You could use the InfoChannel Kernel and set it to Z-Depth.

Ah, yes, sure. I always forget the InfoChannel kernel, that can render single passes without rendering the beauty one.

Thanks!
