CG Compositing Series – 2.3 Material AOVs – Direct, Indirect, & SSS
In this video I cover the intermediate level of CG recombine, which is Direct and Indirect Passes, as well as SubSurface Scattering.
I go over what direct and indirect passes are and how they are rendered, and why they are important. We learn how to identify them in different render engines and naming conventions. I also cover 3 ways a Compositor will typically use Direct / Indirect render passes in every day compositing.
I also breakdown a technique known as Motion Vector Denoising, which helps reduce noisy CG renders while maintaining details.
Please head over to my blog post to get the full read through, as well as links, project files, downloads, credits, resources, etc.
