Maya Arnold 5 AOVs Problem

davidlom

Hello Dear Polycount,

I've been disturbing you with my nooby questions for long time, I hope you can help me this time also.

at this moment I'm studying Arnold renderer and Photoshop Compositing.

I'm following Pluralsight tutorial about Product Visualization, and teacher selected multiple Render Passes from AOV group.

But I can't do the same. I have only <builtin> AOV Group and that's all. There is no Reflection or Refraction or anything else as it was in Tutorial.

this is my render setting window, as you can see, I have only 2 options.



and this the same settings window, but it's from Tutorial. He has a lot more AOV Groups!



We both have Maya 2017, but only difference is that he is using Arnold v4 (ai_Standard_shader) and I have v5 (ai_Stadard_Surface_shader).

Please help me with your wise advice how to enable these missing AOV Groups?

Best Regards,

David

According to a post here  the aiStandard shader isn't used, and you should find what you need in the <builtin> group. It also looks like the new one doesn't support refraction.

I know that I should use new shader.
But AOV group doesn't contain Reflection!
This is the problem why I decided to post here.
