Atmo Issue ?

[bernhard]

Hi,

a box is used as gizmo for the VrayAtmo.

I've placed a few vrayplane lights inside the box - the lights are invisible.
But for some reason you can see them in the RGB as well as in the Atmo pass.

How to get rid of them ?
They shouldn't appear !

please see image attached.

thx a lot for any little hint !

Could it be that the light emitted from them is at its strongest immediately at the surface of the light and the volume in which the light is travelling is picking it up? Hard to explain what I mean. =/

Are the lights set to influence the atmosphere?

@vlado:
The lights are NOT set to influence the atmo.. that's what's so confusing about ....

@macker:
sounds logic what you mean.. but as I mentioned.. the lights are not set to influence the atmo at all but it's still happening !!!

as far as I can remember I had the same issues with Maya....

[bernhard]

I did run some other tests.. even without using a gizmo .. just using the vray_athmosphere... same problem....

@vlado:
do you maybe know how to fix that issue ?

[vlado]

Yes, I know how to fix it, just have to get round to it

Best regards,

ok cool.. is there anything I can do on my side as well ?
I just have a bunch of renders to do and would need to find a quick and easy solution .... many thx for all your efforts - like always !!!!!

It would help if you can get me a simple scene that I can test against to vlado@chaosgroup.com - thanks!
