Hello I have a problem with my lights being seen by the camera with the creation of volumetric fog. The lights have camera and shadow visibility turned off. Is there a workaround to hide them?
Thanks.

Maybe this can help, the fog is created with a Volume object, not through the Octane sky.

I think its nomal to see the light source in the fog. U need to hide it somewhere way from the camera.

Same issue here, general visibility and opacity are both set to 0 but the outline of the light is still visible through the fog.

Is there really no way around this?
