Vray 3.6 - phantom lighting

[busseynova]

I tried Vray 5 recently, but my trial expired and my boss won't pay for a new licence just yet - back to Max2020 and 3.6

But I'm getting a weird thing going on, not sure if it's related to the above: This box is in a scene on its own - no camera, no lights, default Vray exposure control, default Vray material, nothing in the environment slot or Vray environment overrides, yet it's lit. I was getting this on another scene too.

What the hell - it's so odd.

If GI is disabled it will probably enable default lighting

You mean the 3DSMax default lights? Still does the same when I select 'Illuminate with Scene Lights'

Is anyone able to open the scene in the .rar attached and see if they get the same result?

You download is broken

Well I was approved purchase of Vray 5 yesterday, so hopefully this won't be a problem soon!
