AO Light Filter for Arnold 6

[madsd]

Hi,
You can grab the AO Light Filter for Arnold 6 here.
I included the maya centric md files from the Arnold 5 compile, I dont know if it needs modifications since I dont use Maya, so please let me know if its broken.

Hey there man, this is pretty cool. I've used it before.

I'm with a new install right now, and for the life of me I can't seem to be able to get this one working. I read that it's supposed to work with arnold 6 right? Installed the env variables, can't seem to load it. Working on maya 2019.

Cheers.

Site is not updated but here is the Light filter compiled against Arnold 6.2 SDK.
Should work in newest public builds.


** UPDATE **
This should now actually work 🙂

Hi @Mads Drøschler
WARNING | AOLightFilter.dll was compiled against non-compatible Arnold 6.0.1.0.beta10

[madsd]

Yes, sdk break.

I guess I need to make a list on the site that covers some of the older.

1 file for all wont work, Arnold SDK break for every point release. not only major number.

Should work with one file, just use SDK 6.2.0.1 to compile it

[madsd]

the one I just dropped here today is compiled against 6.2
So that wont work with 6.0 , 6.1 for example.

Declan confirmed this as well elsewhere ( Arnold dev )

it's the same dll, Same error in all DCC, since you are compiling it with SDK 6.0.1.0.beta10
Can you compile it with SDK 6.2.0.1 to get it work with Maya 2020,Maya 2022 and Houdini 18.5?

[Anonymous]

The warning say it's Arnold 6.0.1.0.beta10 not 6.2.0.1
WARNING | AOLightFilter.dll was compiled against non-compatible Arnold 6.0.1.0.beta10
Same thing in Houdini 18.5

ok ill see what went wrong and return later.

[JWRodegher]

Can't seem to make it work no matter what. Seems like the version isn't the issue. I don't even get an error.

Thanks for bothering to reply by the way, I'll keep trying because I'm probably doing something wrong.

Cheers.

[madsd]

just wait some days, Ill get around this.

[JWRodegher]

Will do! Thanks for looking into it. Appreciated.

Great work by the way!

Cheers.

[madsd]

[madsd]

[madsd]

[JWRodegher]
