Hi,

Just like the title says. Sphere lights are not working in the latest build V-Ray 4.30.03 from 2020.06.08.

I've reported it as HOU-1958. Thanks for the feedback!

[david.anastacio]

Thanks chakarov . Fixed tomorrow maybe?

Hi again,

chakarov, looks like IES lights are also not working. Custom shapes of file, no light with either.


Best,
David.

Hi david.anastacio , I can't promise you that fix will be in tomorrow's builds, first some of the developers should take a look at the problem. Seems to be related to the fix for multiple geometries used in a mesh light.

Ok, thanks chakarov, we already rolled back on the update and we'll wait on the sphere and IES lights to be fixed.

Best,
David.

Hi again chakarov,

Looks like the problem was there in earlier builds, we rolled back to version V-Ray:4.30.03-2020.06.03 and after looking at some renders from tonight some lights were also missing. In this case it was rectangle lights using disc mode and instanced around an asset using the "instance" node.
Tomorrow we'll revert back to the proper version we were using before (11th of May). But you guys should disable this last versions that are on the nightlies page as they have this serious bug.

Best,
David.

Hello david.anastacio , sphere and ies lights are fixed in todays builds, unfortunately Lights Instancer isn't. Last build with working light instancer is from 31th of May.

[david.anastacio]

Thanks for that info chakarov, we'll wait for the rest of the light fixes then.

Best,
David.

[chakarov]

Light Instancing is fixed in last nightly build.

[david.anastacio]

That is great news
chakarov , does that mean all issues related to lights are now fixed?

Best,
David.
