Hi guys, i'm trying to render out AOVS to nuke from maya and have a few questions if one of you would be kind enough to help.
I'm rendering out a ball with a standard ai shader with diffuse turned down and specular right up so i get reflections from HDRI image based lighting. I'm trying to figure out the workflow for VFX
1) Is it usual to have shadows on the beauty layer?
2) I'm using a shadow AOV on the Aishadowcatcher but nothing seems to render out on the shadow AOV its just black? (however there is shadows on the shadow difference layer and shadow mask layer)
3) Can you advise to the basic AOVS i should send to nuke for comp
4) is there a way of automatically naming the exr layers in maya as the folders are named but inside they are all called test.exr?
