The Total Lighting Render Element is a color image that includes the effects of both direct and indirect lighting on materials in the scene, including the diffuse component. It is a result of adding the Lighting and GI render elements, or of multiplying the Raw Total Lighting and Diffuse Channel Render Elements.

Note: Specific objects can be excluded from this Render Element by disabling the Generate Render Elements option in the V-Ray Object Properties for the selected object(s).
