Hi guys

I have a couple of AREA lights.

The problem I am having is that the AREA lights are showing up in the AO pass.
They contribute to the AO as if they are geo.

Any suggestions?


Thank you

Hi

I could reproduce this issue. Below you can see the Area Light intersects the other geometry, but does not show in the AO Render Pass. I suggest updating to the latest version of the plugin and checking if you are still experiencing the problem there.

Thanks

Paul
