Getting started with rendering header image

LightWave's renderer is now more powerful than ever and you have unprecedented access to the inner workings of it with direct control of the AOV channels that make up a final image. AOV stands for Arbitrary Output Value and these channels are what make up a final image - with them you now have fine-grained control over how your image renders. AOVs are also called buffers.

For full reference, refer to the Rendering and Compositing section of this manual.

Rendering in LightWave takes place in three ways. First there is VPR.
