AOVs, otherwise known as Render Passes segregates the different aspects of the scene, rendering each aspect across multiple images. This is useful in fine-tuning projects, compositing, and creating detailed and photorealistic images.

To instruct OctaneRender® to include a particular pass, go to the Octane Render Target node and click on the AOVs tab to select the pass (Figure 1).
