Render Pass Format Override

Overrides the file format for a specific render pass, independently of the main output format set on the Scene node.

Properties

Pass — the render pass to override (Combined, Alpha, Z, Normal, etc.).

File Format — the format to use for this pass (PNG, JPEG, EXR, OpenEXR Multilayer).

Bit Depth / Quality — format-specific settings that appear depending on the chosen format.

Tips

  • Connect multiple Render Pass Format Override nodes in sequence to override different passes with different formats.
  • Useful when you want EXR for beauty passes but PNG for matte passes, or when a downstream tool requires a specific format for a specific pass.
