  • Area Light shape not affecting light

    Posted by Lizzie Malcolm on September 28, 2016 at 6:51 am

    I have a scene where I would like to create a bar of light using an Area Light.

    I understand that this can be don by changing the shape of the light. However, changing the shape does not appear to affect the result at all.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hard to say what’s wrong without seeing your scene, but it should work. You may need to increase the samples setting in the light’s Details tab, and/or adjust the falloff angle.
