Spotlight Instancing

[INK_WORKSHOP]

Blender version: 4.1.0
Vray for blender build: 6.20.00

Instancing spotlights (untested on other lights) does not appear to work. Linking the object data of spotlight results in a single light present, however if you make them their own objects, it works fine.

Default render settings, and using the environment fog.

Hey INK_WORKSHOP,

Currently, nothing with instancing works as expected (including geometry nodes or particles). If it happens to work in some cases with geometry nodes or particles, then it exports the actual geometry and no instancing is being done, and of course you don't get the benefits from that as well. It's in our to-do list, as Milva mentioned above.

Thanks for the feedback.
