Beauty AOVs

 

Beauty AOVs or Passes provide a rendered view of the different aspects lighting the scene, such as shadows, highlights, reflections, illumination, and color. Beauty AOVs are rendered together with the main beauty pass (the normal rendering). Each one of these requires its own film buffer that needs to be stored in addition to the main film buffer on the device. Figure 1 shows the available Beauty AOV types.
