Another Week another Quick-Tip.
This week it’s about Octanes underutilized internal comp system the "AOV Groups"
Not to mix up with the "Render AOVs" In 3 examples I demonstrate the usefulness of AOV Groups. Of course this is just a fraction of what you are able to do with this powerful system.

And thank you very much for watching.
P.s. leave a comment if you have any good Idea for a future quick tip / tut.
