Delivery scope
What this page expects the deliverable to contain
Depth Pass and Multilayer EXR Output Guide is a delivery specification for beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output. The article covers Depth Pass, and Multilayer EXR, but its real purpose is to define what has to travel with the file so the next team can use it safely.
For rendering and compositing delivery, the fragile parts are pass list, EXR channel view, alpha mode note, and color policy. Leave them out and the receiving team may approve the wrong state.
Article detail
Depth Pass and Multilayer EXR Output Guide: production notes for Depth Pass
This article keeps the keywords in the prose because a production lead will not approve a DCC file from a detached card list. Each term gets tied back to a source state, a target output, or a proof artifact.
Depth Pass - For a vendor-facing brief, Depth Pass is the anchor term and the localized labels explain the same inspected state. Depth Pass (深度通道 / 深度パス) should be tied to the exact part of beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output that it changes. Record the setting, reviewer, and proof artifact so the term is not reduced to a loose label. Use the note to decide whether the asset is ready, blocked, or waiting for a narrower specialist pass.
Multilayer EXR - The practical question around Multilayer EXR is what evidence would make another reviewer agree with the same decision. Multilayer EXR (多层 EXR / マルチレイヤーEXR) is useful in a brief only when it points to an inspectable source state. Put the term beside the file, target output, and owner who can verify it. If that proof cannot be attached, the term should remain in review rather than be treated as covered.
When the same file crosses departments, Depth Pass, and Multilayer EXR should carry the same inspected meaning in Chinese, English, and Japanese.
If the review moves to an outsourcing ticket, copy the relevant paragraph rather than sending only the term row.
Input and output
Separate authoring evidence from delivery evidence
Input evidence
Keep pass list, EXR channel view, and alpha mode note with the source. This explains how the result was made.
Output evidence
Keep a target check for beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output. This proves the result survives the handoff.
Decision note
Write whether Depth Pass, and Multilayer EXR is accepted, blocked, or still waiting for a specialist review.
The distinction matters because a file can be correct in the authoring tool and still wrong in the target environment.

Depth Pass and Multilayer EXR Output Guide FAQ
What makes the page a delivery specification?
It names the expected beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output, the evidence that must travel with it, and the term-level checks that prevent an incomplete handoff.
Can Depth Pass, and Multilayer EXR be covered together?
Yes, if they share one production decision around beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output. If the owner, evidence, or target output changes, split the work into a narrower leaf guide or review ticket.
What makes the coverage article-like instead of card-like?
The page explains cause, risk, evidence, and approval language before the reference table. The table supports the article; it does not replace the article.
When does Depth Pass need escalation?
Escalate when pass list, EXR channel view, and alpha mode note are missing, when beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output differs from the source preview, or when another department owns the final verification.
How should Depth Pass, and Multilayer EXR appear in an outsourcing ticket?
Put the English term in the task title, add the Chinese and Japanese wording in the acceptance note, and attach the evidence that proves the requested production context in rendering and compositing delivery.
