I have tried to use the Highlights in AR, but they do not appear. I have even tried to render the supplied sea scape, but no highlights appear?? Pulling my hair out...

Anyone know of any bugs which stops this working?

Are you using any other post effects? Have you played with the threshold settings? What AA settings? Highlights can are affected dramatically by all of these things, as well as the render resolution.

AA setting Best (1 - 4x)
Tried Thresholds between 0 and 100.
Just preview rendering at the moment, but like I say the supplied Maxon file showing highlight ain't working either!?

I guess you must have AR installed since the effect would be grayed-out otherwise, but just to be sure--are other AR-specific things (GI, caustics, etc.) working properly?

I would try switching to geometry AA. Best can knock out a lot of highlights.

Also try rendering the supplied scene at the intended resolution. As I mentioned above, changing the output resolution can totally alter the effect.

Maybe try without any plugins loaded.

Otherwise I'm at a loss.

I have not modified the supplied scene at all and I have tried all AA modes! Glow, Radiosity etc all work....

The first time you need something.......:shrug:
