Render layers, passes, & batch rendering with Maya & V-Ray - VFX Plane Part 04 [Deprecated Workflow]
Continuing from Part 03, we discuss render layers, render passes (elements), how to create an ambient occlusion pass, and set up a Z Depth pass properly. Also, learn how to batch rendering efficiently with layer overrides. Continue to Part 05 to finish the tutorial.
*This series uses a deprecated sRGB workflow and non-PBR materials. The preferred color management workflow is to use ACEScg, which has been the default since Maya 2022. Please refer to the Razor Crest series for the ACEScg color management and PBR workflows.
