This page gives some basic details about the Sheen Filter Render Element and how it is used in compositing.
Overview
The Sheen Filter Render Element is analogous to the Reflection Filter Render Element.
The Sheen Filter RE stores reflection information calculated from the V-Ray Material Sheen Layer. Surfaces with no Sheen values set in its material(s) contain no information in the render pass and therefore render as black.
The Sheen Filter RE shows how much of the reflection of objects reflecting in the scene should come through in the composite. In other words, the filter defines the strength of the reflection.
Attributes
The parameters for this render element appear in the V-Ray RenderChannelColor render channels node.
