A render PASS creates a picture layer of a scene that can be composited with any other passes to create a complete image.

CreateLayer , "Wizard_Hat", , oHat
' Create a pass based on the new layer
CreatePassFromLayers "Wizard", oPass
' Add a new cone to the pass
Set oCone = GetPrim( "Cone", "MeshSurface" )
SICreatePartition oPass, "Yummy", oCone, oConePart
' Add a new cube to the partition 
Set oCube = GetPrim( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
