Hi @Anonymous I followed a long with the tutorial you were following and couldn't recreate your issue.

    I recommend resetting your settings/preferences and seeing if that changes anything.

    Let me know if this helps!

Hi!

@Anonymous and @sean.heasley.

There was a problem with Shadow Matte in Arnold 2.0.0 which was resolved in 2.0.0.1:

https://support.solidangle.com/display/A5AFMUG/2.0.0.1

Please reply if this solvers your issue.

With a short test of 2.0.0 i had the same problem only being able to view the texture of the Skydome (the passes still work).

The issue still persist . I think i will have to downgrade to arnold 4 and just wait for the new Arnold service pack . Ive tried many fixes but none work .

Im using MtoA 2.0.0.1

Arnold core 5.0.0.2

So the docs said the issue was fixed , practically apparently not . Not sure whats the matter with this .

[Anonymous]

Can any of u take a few mins to check and record the results on ure end?

[sean.heasley]

Hi @Anonymous strange that fix didn't work for you. Can you attach your scene file so I can take a look at it?

Here is my scene file .

Ah ok. After looking at the scene and talking to a co worker he confirmed that it's a known issue and will be fixed in next mtoa. I'll keep you posted if I find a workaround!
