Helper gizmo casts AO on matteshadow material in Mental Ray

[Steve Green]

Hi,

I've noticed that the FFX helper casts a shadow shaped like the gizmo on matte shadow materials in mental ray when ambient occlusion is set.

Is there any way to stop this happening? I've tried turning off cast shadows for the helper itself, but it still does it.

Thanks,

Steve

what happen if you hide the helper?

Hello,

I know about this error, but it seems that parti volume does the same thing.

I think when I tried hiding the helper, FFX didn't render...

Anyway I've switched to VRay because MR was glitching elsewhere...

Just thought I'd mention it, not sure if it was a Fume or MR feature/bug.

Cheers

Steve
