Use the behavior of light, rather than just geometry, to produce flexible masks for very efficient compositing. Built-in presets make getting started easy, while scripting is there for ultimate control.
Create dozens of lighting scenarios from a single render. Interactively edit the color and intensity of lights and light materials, and see the results without rendering again. You can save your light mix settings, send the render elements to compositing, and update the light values in your scene.
Make pixel-perfect adjustments to your image without re-rendering. You can now use any of V-Ray's masking render elements — Cryptomatte, MultiMatte, and Object/ Render/ Material IDs — to select and fine-tune parts of your render.
