[@claursen1]

Great tutorial! perfect timing and easy to follow. One issue I hit was I don't see the "create absolute override for visible layer". There are only the other 4 options. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Have anyone seen this?

[@claursen1]

ok figured out problem. the EYE (layer visible MUST be on, for 'primary visibility/create absolute override... to be an option.

[@TOILSTORY]

Hey I was about to reply your question and realized you've figured it out! Nice! Yes you need to be viewing at the layer that you want to be doing the adjustments and selecting the collection to have that option! Hope this helps!

[@keithyakouboff8755]

Hey there... Thanks for the tutorial. However, I have a few problems. I have learned to hate the Render Setup in Maya now. The layers are unstable and break frequently, and doing the things I did with the Legacy system requires more steps in the newer system -- with no advantage I can see. Any thoughts or ideas?

[@MrDack3d]

When I put the rendered images using matte into after effect, they have a tiny white stripe around each layer, how can I remove them? Thanks

[@SoraluverEternity]

Thank you so much!

[@TOILSTORY]

You're welcome!

[@Damich]

I tried render layers with light but it seems not to work do I have to override the exposure on each light ?

[@TOILSTORY]

Hi, sorry I don't quite understand what you meant. Are you trying to add different lights into different render layers?

[@Damich]

@@TOILSTORY yes, I try to affect some lights to 1 object like the light linking but for some reason the light linking it doesn't work in my scene

[@garsios8910]

12.03 AI cut mat passed, the render that I rendered is available in my PC only in CPU render, is it so?

[@hyrulecastl0kingdoom]

i would like to know please, does it speed up the render a bit to separate characters and environments with this method?

[@TOILSTORY]

Hey, if you understand and use the render layers correctly, yes you can save render time by splitting the characters and environment where you do specific optimizations to each render layer.

[@straightarrow372]

Sigh. When I right click on primary visibility, the option you chose doesn't show up

[@TOILSTORY]

Hey! This usually happens if you are not viewing or selecting on the collection that you want to edit. Maybe check again?

[@straightarrow372]

@@TOILSTORY One problem may be that my file isn't organized the way you have this organized. The part that I want to render is a sub-folder. The part that I don't want to render is all the other geo, which I've put in the collection, using a "select/select by type/polygon geometry" When I click on the collection folder, the attribute editor doesn't even think that I've chosen anything that has an attribute. Another issue is that the attribute editor is in a separate window. I'm not sure if that's significant.

[@linhha7895]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@TOILSTORY]

Hey! What do you mean by making it disappear? Like literally not in the scene? If that's the case, you can remove the geo from the collection. But if you mean that you want the geo to be there to be reflecting or occluding you main geo, you can use primary visibility override and turn it off in your render pass but if you need the geo to be holding out your main geo, you will need to use aiMatte. Let me know if that solves your issue! Cheers!

[@ww2-epicbattles]

Whenever I render layers I always get white outlines and I can't for the life of me find a solution! PLEASE anyone help me!

[@LucasTbooker]

[@TOILSTORY]

No problem!

[@lightningspeed6142]

my main question is how can i render these layers ?

[@TOILSTORY]

You can render them via 'Batch Render`! Hope this info helps!

[@lightningspeed6142]

@@TOILSTORY yeah i got it, Thanks anyways :)

[@joygoat64]

can you teach how to render 2 render filter in 1 scene?

[@TOILSTORY]

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by 2 render filters, can you elaborate for me?

[@joygoat64]

@@TOILSTORY i wnt to render my main character with contour filter but (ai standard surface object with gaussian filter)

[@i20010]

8:50 This doesn't work if you need to override more than one geometry. Even a simple group...

[@TOILSTORY]

Hey, it should work. I've used it multiple times to override groups of geometries or multiple assets.

[@sivapandianreffreference]
