Auto-Shuffle Light AOVs

What does it do:

Automatically breaks all of the light AOV layers out from your image into shuffle nodes and merges them back together correctly to preserve correct intensity and hue.

This allows you to control the effects of each light's intensity, hue et cetera indivudually without the need for re-rendering.

This tool will pair well with Auto-light AOV setup (Mtoa) at this link: (https://gumroad.com/l/MJYsP)

to automate setting up the AOV's for you at rendertime.

Software:

Foundry: Nuke

Currently supports EXR renders from Arnold Renderer with more options on the way.

How to use it:

Select the read node that you want to break out layers for.

Open the "Yokai_Tools" menu at the top of your screen.

Click "Shuffle Out Lights".
