Output AOVs
The Output AOV nodes are the compositor nodes that are designed to be used with the Render AOV system. They provide a way to composite the AOVs together directly in OctaneRender®. The AOV compositing nodes can be found under the Output AOV category in the Node Graph Editor window (figure 1).

Starting with OctaneRender v2026, AOVs nodes located in the traditional Render AOVs category do not need to be generated to match a corresponding Render AOV node used in the Output AOV compositing network. Nodes in the Output AOV category (specifically the Render AOV node) can now generate the underlying AOVs used for compositing (figure 2). This means that the process of creating AOVs located in the traditional Render AOVs category can be skipped entirely and all AOV passes can be generated by the Output AOV nodes alone.
