Arnold Cryptomatte does not work

[Anonymous]

Hello

It seems there is a bug in the 3ds Max 2020 implementation of Cryptomate AOV in EXR.

3dsMax 2020 (maybe past releases also) does save empty layers.

Or did I miss some important hidden button I need to click to be able to get them rendered? (i can't find any tutorial about this subject)

thanks a lot in advance

I saw an issue on Answers where switching to tiff improved the situation for now, until a patch is released.

I think i got it, you need to put cryptomatte map into AOV... do not understand how it exactly works, but i get something now 🙂

thank you for your help

best regards

Yes for sure helps to initiate with the shaders. I thought you hit a bug I just saw on answers.
