Title: Fastest way to render depth only
Post by: genesys on 2021-08-12, 14:12:12

What's the fastest way to render out ONLY CGeometry_ZDepth for a sequence? preferrably without changing the materials in the scene. Is there an easy way to deactivate all lighting computation and all shading alltogether and only output CGeometry_ZDepth of primary rays?

"Render only masks (disable shading" in the Scene tab of the Render Setup.

Isn't even faster to use the scanline renderer for that ?

Shouldn't be any faster or slower - with the Only Masks option, there is no actual rendering taking place anyway.
