hi - I have a scene with various plants and a few of them are showing up too bright in regular beauty pass, and they also show up in the z depth pass- even though they are in the foreground in this case - they are single sided planes, everything in the material is what I usually do - nothing special, is there any known cause of this? the other plants in the same scene do not have this issue.

I would need to see the scene in order to be able to offer any explanation/solution.

right - this scene is huge and when I try to replicate it in a smaller one to send over, the problem doesn't show up... if I can get it to happen again I will send thank you

OK. Sometimes rendering out the other render passes can give a clue to what is going on. For example, wireframe, Object ID, position, etc. Also - if the scene is massive - is it possible you are running out of memory?

Thanks

not running out of memory, but after playing with the surface particle generator, the problem went away. no idea why...
