Emission AOV by light group

[Anonymous]

Hi There. I'm having an issue with getting lights to appear in the emission AOV when selecting "All Light Groups"...

In my screenshots below... the light group "LED_Strips" is being picked up fine in the beauty AOV light groups, and its also picked up fine in the general emission AOV, but nothing in its emission light group.....? It's a visible mesh light. Am I missing something?

Sorry, but light group AOVs for emission are not supported yet.
For reference, this is logged as ARNOLD-9436

Ok thanks Stephen. Do you know if there’s any kind of workaround to get an emission AOV for a specific light?

In case of a mesh light, you can have an object mask on the mesh and use it in post to identify lights in the emission AOV.

it's still a big issue that the emissive mesh is not added to RGBA_YourLightgroup AOV and Emission AOV. This problem is with visible mesh and area Lights and should be fixed by the developers.
