How to export individual light AOVs in Karma (non solaris) July 17, 2025, 7:02 a.m.

Not sure what's wrong on your side, but that's how you would do it. Working as expected here on 20.5.613.

I updated to the same version and managed to get it working in XPU mode, but not in CPU mode.
In CPU mode, the beauty remains black.

Also, adding any matte makes the beauty black. Phantoms work fine, it's just mattes that break the beauty. And also CPU rendering.

This is the test scene I'm using:

How to export individual light AOVs in Karma (non solaris) July 16, 2025, 2:19 p.m.

I'm using a Karma rop in a traditional non-solaris setup.

How do you create individual light contributions as per-light AOVs in the Karma rop?

When adding an LPE Tag under each light and enabling under the Karma rop Beauty -> split per LPE tag, C always renders black.

This is using Karma CPU on Houdini 20.5.550 on Windows 10.
Thanks

How do you achieve natural-looking curved motionblur with point or volume data rather than deformation blur?
why don't you want to use deformation MB? that is the easiest way for geometry with constant topo

I'm going that route and it's working perfectly. Thanks
