This page provides information on the Render Elements tab. Overview The Render Elements tab is available in the  Render Setup window  when either V-Ray or V-Ray GPU is selected as the Renderer.  Render Elements are a way to break out renders into their component parts such as diffuse color, reflections, shadows, mattes, etc. to give the ability to fine-tune aspects of the image in compositing or image editing applications. For information on the render elements available in V-Ray and how to generate and use them, see the  Render Elements  page. On the right is the Render Elements tab when  V-Ray  is selected as  Renderer .   UI Path:  ||Render Setup window|| >  Render Elements  tab ( Renderer  set to  V-Ray )
