How to export AOVs in Blender
If you want real control in compositing, you need to stop rendering beauty only.
In this video I’ll show you my complete workflow to set up, manage and export AOVs in Blender for a proper multi-pass EXR pipeline. This is the exact approach I use for VFX shots when moving to Nuke and other compositing software.
We’ll cover:
• View Layer passes vs Custom AOVs
• Cryptomattes
• Multi-Layer EXR export settings
• Common mistakes that break your comp
My goal with this channel is to document what I learn as a VFX student and build the kind of resources I wish I had when I started. If you’re into Blender, compositing and studio pipelines, you’re in the right place.
