# Defining Outputs Other than Color

The exact options available in the RenderOutputDefine node’s type parameter depends on the current renderer. Each renderer plug-in is queried for the list of output types it supports.

The table lists the supported outputs for 3Delight, PRMan, and Arnold.

3Delight | PRMan | Arnold | Description |
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
color | color | color | Used for most renders. |
| deep | deep | Used for deep .exr creation in RIS workflows, and for deep shadow map creation in legacy REYES workflows. |
| raw | raw | Used when no color management is needed. |
| script | script | Used to inject a command-line script into the render process that depends on a previous render (usually for txmake, ptfilter, or brickmake commands). |
| prescript | prescript | Used to inject a command-line script into the render process that runs before the render is started. |
| merge | merge | Used to merge a number of render outputs (usually AOVs) into a single OpenEXR file. |
| none | none | Clears the pass, removing it from the output list. |
