Ambient Occlusion
If you own the Advanced Render module you can generate an Ambient Occlusion pass for the entire
scene, in accordance with the Ambient Occlusion options in the Render Settings.
Save Multi-Pass Image
You can view specic layers using the Picture viewer’s Channels menu.
Enable this option if you want the multi-pass image to be saved when you render to the Picture
viewer.
Multi-Layer File
The image may look different when viewed in another application depending
on which blend modes are supported. For example, if the application has
no true Add mode, highlights may appear washed out and need correcting.
Differences are also possible when using a combination of colored lights,
especially when using Brightness settings above 100%.
If this option is enabled, all layers are saved in a multi-layer le. In addition, you must set Format
on the Output page to Photoshop (PSD), RLA, RPF or BodyPaint 3D (B3D). If the option is disabled,
CINEMA 4D creates a separate le for each pass using the Format setting on the Save page. A sufx
is added to each of the lenames to differentiate them.
