Chapter 264: RenderPass

Core Idea

This class represents a render pass. It takes a camera and a scene and produces a beauty pass for subsequent post processing effects.

camera : Camera: The camera.
clear : boolean: Overwritten to perform a clear operation by default.
clearAlpha : number: The clear alpha of the render pass.
clearColor : number | Color | string: The clear color of the render pass.
clearDepth : boolean: If set to true, only the depth can be cleared when clear is to false.
isRenderPass : boolean (readonly): This flag indicates that this pass renders the scene itself.
needsSwap : boolean: Overwritten to disable the swap.
overrideMaterial : Material: The override material. If set, this material is used for all objects in the scene.
scene : Scene: The scene to render.

const renderPass = new RenderPass( scene, camera );
composer.addPass( renderPass );
