Render Passes, Layers, and 3D Compositing. A beauty pass (sometimes called diffuse pass or color pass) is the main, full-color rendering of your subject, including diffuse illumination, color, and color maps.

Render Passes, Layers, and 3D Compositing

A beauty pass usually will not include reflections, highlights, and shadows, which are usually separate passes. Highlight passes (sometimes called specular passes) isolate the specular highlights from your objects. You can render highlight passes by turning off any ambient light and making the object’s diffuse shading and color mapping to pure black. The result will be a rendering of all the specular highlights in the scene, over a black background, without any other types of shading. A reflection pass includes reflections of other objects or the surrounding environment, and can either replace or complement the highlight pass.
