Hi,

What's a good way to configure AOVs per render pass? Create a different product, or something else?

Thanks!

AOVs are _always_ controlled in USD via the render settings prim, which points to one or more render product prims, which point to one or more render var (AOV) prims. So if you want one render to have a different set of AOVs produced that another render, you must have a different render settings prim (or apply per-render overrides to the render settings prim). How this fits into your pipeline and render submission/farm system is going to quite dependent on how you initiate your renders.

Ok, got it, thanks! Until now we've been rendering passes by building separate USDs for each, I'll try to get the render pass system going so it's just different husk executions of the same USD.
