Hi all,

I'm wanting to output some mattes only.

I switch off the 'Render Color' but the beauty render get calculated too.

Cheers,

Steve

Oh, the beauty does not appear in Maxwell Render, but is in the exr file.

For now, I set all of the geometry to a black diffuse material and switched off all but the direct lighting.

I think this is a limitation in the engine - under some circumstances, the beauty pass is calculated even when it's turned off in the options. I'll check with the core guys and get back to you.
