Hi Sighman,

I'm not able to create neither Emission nor Light nor Reflection passes of VDB files. Creating objects with Emission channel (as Shader) works fine; here I can create the passes. This, however, does not seem to work for VDB files. It is a Carrara problem or an OR problem? Or do I do something wrong here?

Best wishes,
Thomas

I get similar results. Nothing shows up on the Emitters or Light passes. However I do get reflections.

I have confirmed that the same thing happens in the Standalone so this looks like an OR limitation. I will ask the OR team to respond.

Hi Sighman,

Great, thank you. However, when it comes to reflecitions, I mean of course "Direct Reflections." Sorry that I wasn't specific engough.

Best wishes,
Thomas

I've been told that it looks like an oversight. No idea when we will see it fixed.
