VrayFastSSS2 dark hotspot with mesh lights

[Alex_M]

I'm making a bar with lights in it which looks like this:



I figured I will use VrayFastSSS2 material for this and mesh light. The problem is that the hotspot comes out dark when it should be bright. This doesn't happen with sphere, plane and disc lights. Is this expected behavior or bug?

What if you subdivide your mesh light geometry to have more even quad division ?

[Alex_M]

No, still the same result. For now I'm using sphere lights. They seem to work just fine for the bar. The question why the hotspot is dark with mesh lights still stands though.

I'm not sure about this - I will need to see a scene to figure out what's going on.

Best regards,

You would have to post piece of this scene here for devs to check it out.

Sure, please see attached.

Thank you for attaching the scene. This is probably a bug, I added in our bug-tracking system. As soon as we fix it I will let you know.
