All objects which dosn´t get any specific “task” will be automaticly part of the background (main) render pass.
Other defined objects will not be rendered within the background, apart from the following exception:

  • A specific foreground object will stay in background pass if the object itself is checked as “Foreground actor keeps in BG”.
