Hiya all.

I am reading the MR docs, in particular the section on render elements. It talks about creating level render elements (i.e. diffuse_level, spec_level etc) as well as raw elements. The combination of the two increases composition control. How?

I understand that you can combine the different elements using different blends (in photoshop, AfterEffects etc) to give a good level of control. So how will having the level elements increase the control? Is it not just like altering the opacity of the raw elements?

Cheers
