Vray Light not showing in layers

[philip kelly]

Good morning.
When i create a light it does not show in the layers?
Why not?

Also
when i group a light with the object I have built to set the light in, and use Forest pro to scatter it on a line, I can not adjust the light if I group it with the object, and then scatter and un group the parent light , all the scattered lights disappear.
How do I get around this issue?
Thank you

phil

Hi, your thread is not for this section. Here we discuss only V-Ray for 3ds Max related topics. I will move your thread to the Chaos Common section

The Light does not appear in the scene explorer because you have disabled it from the filters:

You can open the group and move the light but you can not ungroup. Probably Itoo could give you more details about this behaviour of Forest Pack.

Thank you . In groups when using lights you have to open the group with e drop down command OPEN RECURSIVELY.....make the change then close.

There is still so much of Max and Vray I do not know, after 15 years........ is there a good certified course you would do yourself that you would recommend?
Thank you again
Phil
