Arnold AOV render dropdown menu in arnold render view

[martijn.simons]

When I open maya and go to arnold render view the drop down menu with all my aov passes(Beauty, z depth, cryptomatta etc etc) is not showing up. I have enable AOV's in view. This is very annoying since I cannot check any of my different AOV's at the moment.

 

 

Somehow i found one workaround but that still leaves me hanging a bit. If i leave the renderview open, i save, close down maya and re-open it. The arnold renderview will open up normally and i can see the drop down menu for the AOV's. Although it will not recognize any camera's or AOV's selected in render settings until i press the render button itself. If i close down the arnold render view with the x button on the top right and re-open it again. The drop down menu for AOV's will not be there anymore and the issue will be the same as before.

 

Does anyone know a fix for this or know what the problem might be?

Thank you in advance

was wondering if you found a fix for this? I've never been able to see any of my AOV's in Arnold Render view. I have the check box ticked to enable, and I have selected all my AOV's in the render settings. The only thing that has ever been in the dropdown is Beauty. That have been for Maya 18, 20, and 2022. I see people showing they're dropdown on YT and it has all the layers. thanks

Is View > Enable AOVs selected?

What dropdown? The AOV list on the toolbar, of the View > AOVs list?

So what fixed it for me was re verting arnold to a previous version (5.0.02 or before). Then the AOV's are there again. I don't know why this happens in arnold 5.0.0.3 and above tho

Hey guys I think I may have a work around. The aovs dropdown list disappeared randomly for me too, if you want to get it back this is what you need to do:

Open Arnold renderview -> Window -> Toolbar Icons -> Show AOVs list

And that should do it!
