52 Chapter 7: Configuration
If for example you have three render engines you can set up a range of channels
with different combinations of render engines per channel.
If for example you have a scene with four layers each layer can be controlled
separately from the other layers (see table below). By setting a state per layer you
can achieve a varied output depending on the channel used and how that channel
is configured in terms of render engines (see table above).
• Layer 1: Shows and hides a geometry (e.g. a cube)
• Layer 2: Shows and hides a geometry (e.g. a cube)
• Layer 3: Positions the geometries.
• Layer 4. Animates the layer 1 geometry by showing the next image or a logo.
With the aforementioned scene layers and configured channels you can have the
following output on each of the three engines.
