hey all:)
FYI: Maya 2009 - MR renderer
When one sets up any number of passes in the Render Layer Editor, by default Maya outputs NOT ONLY the pass you want, but ALSO a “MasterBeauty” pass of your whole scene...or parts of it anyway.. (i.e. like the the master layer)
How do I friggin turn this OFF? lol.
I have a 3d matte projection that is rendering at 2k res.
Each main “beauty” pass (not MasterBeauty) takes around 2 minutes per frame to render. (luckily the shot is only 120 frames)
Then:
For every separate render layer (pass) that I setup, for example, a simple preset Matte pass of a few objects, that by itself, takes a NANOSECOND to render, Maya then takes the time to ALSO needlessly render a “MasterBeauty” pass along with every matte pass frame rendered.
Maya does this for any pass type I create.
Its very annoying and needlessly very time consuming.
So, where do we turn the “MasterBeauty” “feature” off?
I searched the help, and all it says is that it DOES output this pass for every layer rendered, NOT how to turn it off.
Thanks in advance anyone!

PS, I’m rendering using Mental Ray, in case that makes a diff.
And it looks like it “MAY” because when I right-click on any layer, and choose Attributes, under the Render Pass Options there is a “beauty” pass checked to ON, BUT:
the title of the flyout is:
“Render Pass Options (obsolete for Mental Ray)” so this does nothing to stop the extra “MasterBeauty’ pass from being rendered:(
