Render Multiple Canvases?

Hello Everyone - 

I'm trying to test a new denoiser (Altus), and it requires different render passes (Beauty, Position, etc.). I think I can get these in Iray, but it looks like I can only render one canvas at a time. I know Octane has the ability to render these all out at once. Does anyone know if it's possible to do the same in Iray?

Thanks!

    How does it look like that? Just keep adding canvases.

    Under the Render Editor I can only select one "Active Canvas." I assume that's the one that will be rendered. Am I being stupid?

    No, it's kind of misleading. You're going to want to select Beauty for this one. Active Canvas is the one that gets rendered to convergence, so if you pick something like material ID the whole render will be over in seconds and not finish. (I think. It might just be the one that shows in the main window.)

    When you save your image all the canvases will be in a folder in the same place.
