render_composite

Usage#

To apply render_composite material, follow these steps:

Set it (or a material inherited from it) in Render settings -> Composite shader field.
Make sure that Main menu ->Render tab -> Auxiliary buffer option is checked.
Go to the surface material. Set States tab ->Passes -> Auxiliary pass and set itDefault. It means that the material is rendered into the auxiliary color buffer.

It is also possible to mask materials for two postprocesses using surface material -> Parameters -> Auxiliary Color (see blur_mask and dof_mask below).

States#

auxiliary_mode	Specifies if the surface (with Auxiliary pass enabled) should be rendered with the additional color multiplier: Skip - additional color is not rendered Overlay - color multiplier is applied Overlay mode
blur_mask	Mask to exclude objects from Motion blur. Skip - all materials are rendered blurred. red - materials that have Auxiliary Color with non-zero Red channel value are excluded from motion blur. green - materials that have Auxiliary Color with non-zero Green channel value are excluded from motion blur. Yellow material is excluded from motion blur
dof_mask	Mask to exclude objects from DOF effect. Skip - all materials are rendered with DOF effect applied. red - materials that have Auxiliary Color with non-zero Red channel value are rendered without DOF effect (non-blurred). green - materials that have Auxiliary Color with non-zero Green channel value are rendered without DOF effect (non-blurred). Green material without DOF effect

auxiliary_mode

Specifies if the surface (with Auxiliary pass enabled) should be rendered with the additional color multiplier:

Skip - additional color is not rendered
Overlay - color multiplier is applied
