rowbear97 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I will confess that I'm not that efficient with light sources to the point where I can't get a custom source to show light in any rendering mode. I'm working on a project where we will be providing path lighting with small fixtures fit into new planters. I've modeled that planter to include the a standard "flood" and as you can see in the screen shot some of the are showing up while the same exact symbol suddenly stops rendering the light. Is there a limit to the number of light sources or some setting that I'm missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted January 17, 2018 Marionette Maven Share Posted January 17, 2018 OpenGL will limit you to 8 light sources. Renderworks will show you all of the sources that are turned on. 1 Quote Link to comment
rowbear97 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Marissa thanks. A limit of 8 seems kinda lame. Are there plans to up that number? When you say Renderworks you are indicating selecting one of the other rendering modes light Exterior Realist Fast or Final right? When I do that the emitted light still doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment
