render
Creates a new Pass. A render
pass creates a picture layer of a scene that can be composited with
any other passes to create a complete image.
Note: This command uses output
arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript,
PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference
so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:
For scripting languages this command returns an ISIVTCollection which you can
use to get the output arguments.
For C# you can use the XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand
method to call this command. ExecuteCommand packs the output
arguments into a C# System.Object containing an Array of the output arguments (see
Calling
Commands from C#).

' This example demonstrates how to create different types of passes
' based on pass presets. It also shows how to get a list of all
' passes in the scene as an XSICollection.
