What is the color of diffuse indirect pass?
What contains the Diffuse Indirect pass? light reflected from the ball becomes orange and this light illuminates the plane. And the plane reflects light almost unchanged, so the ball looks white: You can see, gray plane have orange reflect from sphere. This reflection goes from indirect pass.
How is indirect lighting defined in diffuse BSDF?
Indirect lighting from diffuse BSDFs. We define indirect lighting as coming from lamps, emitting surfaces or the background after more than one reflection or transmission off a surface. BSDF color is not included in this pass.
What does direct and indirect mean in Blender?
The Blender manual page says about Diffuse direct and indirect as follows: Direct lighting from diffuse BSDFs. We define direct lighting as coming from lamps, emitting surfaces, the background, or ambient occlusion after a single reflection or transmission off a surface. BSDF color is not included in this pass.
How many render passes are there in a cycle?
In Cycles there are over thirty different render passes available, depending on how you count. That is a lot of information that we can use in post-processing to bring the best from our renders. To explain what render passes are, I want to compare them with a regular image. In a regular image we have different channels. One for each primary color.
