object select RE volumes

[psanitra]

I`m trying to get some volumes on separate RE, but object select on GEO node containing volume returns empty/black RE. Is this not a supported feature?

Hey, Peter,

unfortunately it's not supported for volumes. Cryptomatte works though so hopefully that can give you what you need - just make sure to set the mode on the shader to Volumetric Geometry.
There's more info on the supported elements for volumetric rendering here: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...ements+Support

Hope that helps!

I`m aware of that workflow, but from experience i know switching to volume geometry was significantly slower, so i`m trying to avoid that as much as possible.
