multipass rendering with 3rd part engines

Support Other Software

Does anyone know if any of the 3rd party renderers that work with Blender have multipass rendering? If so, which one?

Thanks!!

I personally don’t know of any freeware renderers with multipass rendering.

The Renderman standard is supposed to support multipass rendering, so you might want to look at the free Renderman-compliant renderers available (Pixie, Aqsis, 3Delight, etc.).

Several commercial renderers support multipass rendering, including Cinema 4D (v7 and later), Mental Ray, etc.
