Hi all,

I have a scene and I introduced a spot to it with a an effect added on (cone) and I want to render it using the multi-pass rendering, so that I can isolate the effect on a separate layer. I render the image and I get all the usual layes EXCEPT the Post Effect. No matter whether I render it as embedded into the PSD file or tell it to render externally into a special file. If I try to render externally, the resulting file never gets created. The internal rendeing (embedded) is also missing that layer, so the composited layes are missing the cone effect even though the "image" layer and the preview that I get do have it! This is beyond weird and I've never seen it happen before...

What could be wrong? (Carrara 8.1.1 build 12 64bit)

I'm not sure whether I had upgraded it since the last time I used the Post effect passes, but I definitely had used the Post Effect layes successfully in the 8.1 versions before.  Right now the post just doesn't get rendered in any scenes... What to do?

Thank you!
