Andy Lasseter Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Spotlight Open GL Rendering. Colleague and I working together and it seems that we are at the Fixture limit of what can be rendered. I have never seen this before. Situation: 10 Color Chorus 12s in plot, 5 (blue light) are high shooting down, 5 (red light) at ground shooting up. All are focused and correctly oriented. Only 8 are rendering. Visualization palette shows all are on. Symptom: As some fixtures are turned off (via Visualization or Edit Light) the non rendered fixtures start rendering. In any combination there appears to a be a max limit of 8 visible renders. Any ideas? Vectorworks Version 2019 System Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 - Not Mojave.

Brandon Wardell Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The limit for OpenGL rendering is 8 lights. Use Fast Renderworks instead."OpenGL renders up to eight lights in a drawing; additional ambient light, directional, point, or spot lights have no effect. Custom, area, and linear lights can be added." Quote Link to comment
