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 it Default. 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

Overlay mode for Auxiliary buffer

Overlay mode

blur_mask

Mask to exclude objects from Motion blur.

Skip - all materials are rendered blurred.

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).
