Hi guys,

I'm struggling to get a proper workflow using the analytic light beams. I would like to have the light beams as a sepearte pass to overlay it in AE, but when I turn on the PostFX media AOV the rays completely dissapear in the beauty pass (which would be fine) in the LV and Picture viewer and I only get an empty exr (14kb, nothing when applying the extractor effect). Here are my render settings:

What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
there is an issue in Octane core with Beams in Post FX media AOV, it does work only if Fog has been enabled too, before enabling the PostFX media AOV: Basically, beams and fog must to be both active to have beams in PostFX Media AOV., so you always need to add a little bit of post fog.

For future, the idea is to split the PostFX media AOV in two, one for post beams and one for post fog..

ciao,
Beppe
