# Store Scalar To AOV

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Store Scalar To AOV node** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It writes float values from the shader into a Custom AOV — grayscale masks and data passes defined exactly where they originate.

You can activate *Custom* AOV layers for your rendering and send float values from a material to that AOV. You can find an example [on this page](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/Redshift_Nodes_Utility_AOV.html.md).

You can find all information about [Custom AOVs here](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/_REDSHIFT_/html/Custom%2BAOVs.html.md).
