scaling vray light seems to have issues

[themaxxer]

it seems that scaling a vray sphere light have some issues or not excepted behavior http://c2n.me/3ynlz4T.png the light is scaled down to the red ellipse, but you see the sphere in the material around...
is this known?

thanks and best regards

I don't think that scaling in viewport has any effect on the actual light. you'd probably better off modelling an object of the correct shape and use it as mesh light.

The V-Ray sphere light will not work correctly with non-uniform scaling (it uses sampling that is specific to spheres only); you need to use a mesh light for that.

well that's bad... but good to know. I thought it works with scaling. maybe you should lock it, so it can't be scaled, it's a bit unclear because you can scale them...

what I miss for default vray light's is still a cylinder shaped light, because I think the meshlight works not the way the default lights do...

+1 for the cylinder mode. I use meshlights for it currently but I often found myself in a situation where cylinder mode would have been useful.

+1 for cylinder !!! I don't understand why it's still not there ...

Because we chose to focus on other things first... will get to it at some point.

Yes, I'd have guessed that ... it was more a way of talking - no offense
