Light AOVs in Maya and After Effects

Creating and exporting Lighting AOVs from Maya using the Arnold renderer and exr files.
This is a basic introduction to a very useful technique that allows for careful editing in post.

How does the Maya custom AOV feature under Render Settings know to assign your light to the AOV output? Just based on what you named the AOV Light Group, it finds it automatically?

[@3dsplanchnic737]

Hi - yes, I think so... I made this a while ago - I'll have to refresh my memory and get back to you.

[@3dsplanchnic737]

Just watched again - yes, that's right. The AOV lightgroup name, if included in the custom AOV will point to that light.
