Primary Visibility won't work on XGEN

mhamid3d — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 07:28:16 GMT

Using Arnold 4, first I tried setting primary visibility to off on the shape node of the description, but it still renders. Then I tried creating a Set with the description shape and setting a primary visibility override and it still renders out fully. Is there anything I'm missing??

Hi!

Use the description node (in Outliner directly below collection)

You have to select the shape node:

XGen Primary Visibility

cheers

It ended up being an issue with Arnold. I updated Arnold to a newer version and it worked. Thanks everyone!
