  • Somehow have turned off the light produced from lights in the editor view?

    Hey guys very simple issue here.

    I have somehow managed to turn off a couple of lights in my editor window, without having disabled anything in the tags?

    See attached image, the other lights show their beams, these 3 dont? They are all under the same null, and it was after I selected a couple of polygon faces, and clicked hide other polygons.

    Any ideas how to restore the light visible in the editor?

    No way to tell without seeing the file.

    I agree: need to see more. You may need to post the project. Are the light shadow enabled? Is there a negative intensity value?’

    It could just be a bug. I have had to replace things before to get them to work.

    Do they work when you render? I have had negative lighting like that in the editor that renders fine. Particularly when using hdri and a single light source, it show no illumination until I render.

    Thank you

    I didn’t see any light not illuminating the scene. I using R12 .048xx build.

    I opened the scene and everything was working fine… The only thing I saw was in one of your composite tag you used “include” I find that option causes weird things to happen because it absolutely excludes everything else. I sure you know, but it has F’d me a couple times.

    Interesting the way you used mospline to build the book:-)

    Thank you

    Hey when I shut your light off with the exclude tag the other illuminate. You may have over looked adding other object to you include tag to make the scene work correctly. Maybe?

    Thank you

    Hey mate, its still a real strange one for me. Cant seem to work it out. It only occurs when I turn on any of the barrel lights? They seem to affect the visible status of the phone lights??
