Volume Emission mat - 'Visible On' settings not working

[Tim_Twisted]

Hi,

I want to use the volume settings on the Octane tag to use a model as a volume, but the purple emission from the cylinder is still visible on the sphere even though the 'Visible On" settings are turned off. Am I missing something or is this an error?

Scene is attached below in the zip. Thanks for any help.

Parameter is working not as you say in the title.

The intention is to have the cylinder (light) not illuminating other objects (the sphere). The reason why I'm using the volume setup is because I'm looking to have something akin to a laser beam setup, and used to do a falloff shading to soften the edges. The volume has a nice feathering from whatever angle you look, but without the typical angle limitations of a falloff. The color/intensity is overblown but not the main issue atm.

Thanks for the suggestion. Raytype was also something I thought of using, but the volume medium inside of the octane tag isn't a full material (so no opacity slot). The scene is included in the zip in OP btw.

As for now I think render layers will be the way to go and just do a separate render for the beam. Thanks for thinking along with me.
