Blender Cycles: How to make a Clay Render (no AO / no Lights)

Imagen
Hi everybody. Sometimes, when you are creating a complex scene, you need a method to get a simple render of your objects, without taking account into materials, lights, backgrounds or environments. This is known as a clay render (see the image below). In some render engines you have an option to do this. But in Cycles you don't have it. Hola a todos. Algunas veces, cuando estás creando una escena compleja, necesitas un método para conseguir un render simple de tus objetos, sin tener en cuenta materiales, luces, fondos o ambientes. Esto se conoce como un "clay render" o render de arcilla (ver imagen de abajo). En algunos motores de renderizado existe una opción para hacer ésto. Pero en Cycles no la tenemos.

Sólo necesitas dos configuraciones de nodos: 1. All the objects must have the same material. ...

(note about the background: As I want the render to be realistic, I have flipped the background image file. This is because of the rainbow must be in the opposite side of the sun. See the thread above for further details about a realistic rainbow by @CarlG) This are the steps to create my rainbow mesh: 1. Set the cursor on the background plain (press Shift + S >> Cursor to Selected ) 2. Add a circle mesh ( Add >> Mesh >> Circle ) 3. Rotate the circle 90 degrees along the X ...
