Render Layers Node

Renders a View Layer and reads its Passes into the compositing node graph.

Inputs

This node has no input sockets.

Properties

Scene

The scene for which to render a view layer.

View Layer

The view layer to render. The button next to the dropdown re-renders it immediately.

Vihje

To use the compositing output from another scene rather than its ”raw” render output, first render that scene into a series of multi-layered images (using e.g. the OpenEXR format), then load those images into the Compositor of the current scene using the Image Node.

Outputs

Image

Rendered image.

Alpha

Alpha channel.

Render pass sockets

Additional outputs for any enabled render passes.

Muista

The viewport compositor only supports render passes when using EEVEE. For other engines, the passes will be empty.
