Having a separate one for RenderPass-driven RenderSettings selection would still be useful.

Heh, another client just logged it

I think I submitted an RFE last year ... for specifying multiple render passes either explicitly or using pattern matching.

You did indeed ... just found it (I hadn't properly tagged it so it didn't come up in my first search).

That's a great overview, I really enjoyed watching that.

As alluded to in your video, we have thus far strictly focused on the "scene visibility" aspects of RenderPass, and consciously ignored its potential for higher-level control of the render (e.g., choosing the RenderSettings).

It would be great if you could log RFEs for:
- providing better workflows for RenderPass-driven RenderSettings selection
- one-shot multiple RenderPass rendering

Again, really nicely presented, thanks for sharing this with the world!
