"result" component using scripts

Wut

I always thought it would be great if the result -component was just a render surface -component with an image output for all the different passes. Even if it was just a bitmap output, you could then further modify the render passes and composite the final output within the filter.

Lets say I'd want to use the ambient occlusion channel to modify the diffuse color. Sure, I could render out the ambient occlusion and load it as an image, but this is super slow and laborious, having to fully re-render and reload every time the occlusion map is changed.

It would be much better to have a component that simply renders the ambient occlusion map (and others), which can then be used from inside the filter. Ideally other properties (like reflections) would also be exposed to the user. It feels like much of the cool rendering features are being wasted by not giving users full access to them.

Perhaps the current "result" component could have a switch for rendering a channel or rendering the final output (or these could be separated into two components).
