  • V-Ray Light Lister question

    I'm wondering with the V-Ray light lister what the Color column is used for when you control the temperature of the lights with Kelvin units? Is it just for quick reference to tell if they are warm or cool? On the other hand, since the standard lights don't have a temp associated, it would make sense that you use "orange" squares if you want them to read warmer.

    How about the yellow blocks on the right?

    the first one is for light temperature setting or light color setting, the second one is for the wirecolor (yellow one)

      So why when I change the color temp from say, 3000K to 5000K, the orange color in the box doesn't change? You would expect it to become whiteish? I guess I'm not understanding? Perhaps using a Kelvin value overrides what is in the colored box?
