This pass is responsible for including tone mapping and color space conversion into your pass chain. In most cases, this pass should be included at the end of each pass chain. If a pass requires sRGB input (e.g. like FXAA), the pass must follow OutputPass in the pass chain.
The tone mapping and color space settings are extracted from the renderer.
const outputPass = new OutputPass();
composer.addPass( outputPass );
OutputPass is an addon, and must be imported explicitly, see Installation#Addons.
