Light texture

[daniel_diligent]

Hello

I try to apply a texture to a disc light. The texture appears on the light itself but it doesn't affect the general lighting. See attached image.

Where am i wrong ?
Thanks for help.

Here's a scene example

First of all, it is hard to notice a difference with a noise texture and a full-spread light; set the directionality (VRayLight>Rectangle/Disc light>Directional) to 1 to see the effect clearly and lower the value to get the desired effect. Note that your light has an "Affect diffuse" multiplier value of 20, which removes the midtones of the noise texture; for intensity control use the Multiplier from the General tab instead.

Thanks. I will check all that.

Thanks a lot Hermit. It work now, i could make my light effect for an underwater scene. The trick was in the directional value.
