matte pass & architectural material

[rpmaguire]

I have selected an object, created a new rgba matte pass. In the passes partitions it shows the selected object in the matte partition..and all others in the background partition....yet when i render the pass everything renders...?

What could be going on here?

Thank you for your help,

? I don't understand, It seem the "no diffuse" "no specular" override's are not being applied to the background partition when i render...
hmm, not too sure how to resolve this.
Any help as always is much appreciated.

Thanks-

I think this might have something to do with architectural material and the matte pass overrides...

I see that the overrides are controlling the "diffuse_inuse" & "specular_inuse"... But the architectural material does not have these ports...

Can I not render a matte pass with architectural materials??

SOLVED

Not too sure if this is the best way to do this. But I applied a new phong material to the background partition and added the "diffuse_inuse" & "specular_inuse" parameters from the phong material to the override...and it works!! lol

Sometimes just asking the question makes us answer ourselves lol
but next time, perhaps posting screenshots could help give a little context?

But glad you figured it out
