Issue with added lighting when using filter on source

Greetings,

I am adding filters to my data, such as the simple clipping filter. However, when I place an additional light source using the light inspector, it seems that the clipping plane and the guidelines/arrows are treated as objects and therefore affect the lighting. This problem seems to occur when raytracing is enabled. I am wondering if there is any way to address this since it is interrupting the visualization of the actual data.

Here are screenshots of an example of this problem happening.

With raytracing (ospray)

Thanks!

Per object lighting selectivity is coincidentally in active development within OSPRay but it will take a while for that to get released and then for ParaView to update its version of OSPRay and hook up the control from VTK’s widgets into it to make it work the way you want.

In the meantime, two workarounds are to turn off Shadows in the OSPRay.scivis/ray caster backend or simply disable widget visibility. Both of these can be done in ParaView’s Properties tab.
