AoA Atmospheric Effects Camera

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I need help understanding the AoA Atmospheric effects camera. I try to produce a godray effect and I use the EasyVolume camera out of the set. I followed the steps in the documentation and set the light I wanted to be voluminetric on 99% with the settig accept only lights flagged as 99%. Whenever I have one light (or several) flagged my render is black. Through the same camera with light on 100% or 98% (as of that unflagged) my scene is illuminated (and no volume effect). I tried with different lights like distant and spot light, added other lights for completion but still only black. For starters I didn't change anythinf on the volume colour  Strenght and quality.

I use 3dlight and I don't have the AoA advanced lights but from the documentation I expected it to work with daz lights as well.

Hope someone can direct me the right way in the dark...

Thanks in advance

    The standard 3DL categories/flagging used words...fog is one of the 'standard' ones, so try using that on the lights you want and in the camera slot.

    Thanks mjc1016 (didn't you have a frog before in your avatar?) With using you mean adding the word to the name? I'm not familiar with flagging up to know, is there more information about that available somewhere?

    Instead of using a number...I don't have the cam or the AoA lights, so I'm not 100% sure how AoA accesses the category/flagging.  But standard 3DL usage is words.

    It was the Grinch, that I did for Christmas several years ago...

    Ok thanks, I'll try if I find a solution with that information.

    He, I'm gonna miss his grumpy look ;-)
