What happened to the checkbox? I only want to render shadow pass?

Technically beauty pass is always calculated anyway.
Guess it would make sense to disable file output though.

Hello b-kandor,

What version of Maxwell are you using?

Below I'm sending you an screenshot that confirms that the checkbox to enable/disable the main render buffer is available.

Yes, currently the network dialog doesn't allow you to disable the render channel and it's a temporary limitation of the current merging technology.. We will see if there is something we can do about it. ;)

Ok, clarified.
It was on the Network wizard. As I've mentioned, on the regular Render Settings it is correct.

We'll look at the network wizard routines.
