This document provides instructions for compositing render elements in Photoshop using a V-Ray render. It describes how to: 1. Open the beauty pass render and drag and drop corresponding render elements like GI, lighting, reflections as layers. 2. Set the blending mode of these layers to "Linear Dodge (Add)" to composite them into the beauty pass. 3. Apply color corrections and adjustments to individual render elements to refine effects like reflections and refractions.

V-RAY RENDER ELEMENTS - COMPOSITING

This demonstration covers the usage of V-Ray Render Elements in Adobe Photoshop.
1. In Photoshop open the beauty pass of the render you saved. (it will have a suffix RGB_color)

2. In Windows Explorer select the render element necessary to compose the Beauty
(VRayGlobalIllumination, VRayLighting, VRayReflection, VRayRefraction and VRaySpecular) and
drag and drop them in Photoshop to add them as layers. Keep hitting the Enter key until all layers
are added:
3. You can view each layer by toggling the “eye” icon to the left of each layer or by dragging each
layer to the top of the layer stack
4. Unlock the background layer, drag it to the top of the layer stack and make it invisible:

5. Select the five layers with the render elements and set the Blending Mode to Linear Dodge (Add)
6. Toggle the visibility of the Beauty pass and note that it completely matches the composite we
made using the render elements
7. You can now apply color corrections to each render element separately to affect only the
reflections, refractions etc.
8. Add the ambient occlusion render element (suffix .AmbientOcclusion) into the Photoshop
composition:

9. Set the Blending mode to Multiply

10. Note that the black parts of the Ambient Occlusion pass completely darkened the three objects
on the table:
11. Having selected the Ambient Occlusion pass click the Edit Contents button
12. Use the Brush tool to paint White over the three black objects on the table

13. Close the image and choose that you want to save the changes:
14. Select the render elements layers we used to compose the Beauty, right click and select Convert
to Smart Object
15. Add the MultiMatteElement called MM2 to the Photoshop composition:

16. Select the render_element.MM2 layer, switch to the Channels tab and select Red channel

17. Switch back to the Layers tab and click on the Create new adjustment layer button:

18. Add an adjustment layer, for example Hue/Saturation…


19. Note that the adjustment is applied only to the objects in the Red channel of the
MultiMatteElement
20. Disable the Adjustment layer
21. Go to Image > Mode > 8 Bits/Channel, click Merge, and set the Method to Exposure and
Gamma:

22. In Photoshop, open the render element with the .VRayZDepth suffix
23. Double click on the Layer to unlock it and then press Ctrl+A to select the image and then Ctrl+C
to copy the image into the clipboard
24. Switch to the original composition, select the Layer 1 layer and click the Add layer mask button

25. Hold the Alt key and click the Layer mask white square:

26. Press Ctrl+V to paste the image from the render element with the .VRayZDepth suffix
27. Right click on the Layer mask and select Disable Layer Mask

28. Go to Filter > Blur > Lens Blur:


29. You can now use the Blur Focal Distance parameter to move the focus of the camera and the
Radius parameter to control the strength of the Depth of Field effect
