  • IES Light Shape

    It seems that if you change the light shape in an ies it will no longer get you soft shadows in the 3.15 build. It work just fine in 3.1.
    Is this temporary disable, or are you getting the same issue?

    Thanks in advance

    It should calculate them from the IES shape only.

      What do you mean?
      Under Light shape you can change it to say spherical or circular, where you can change a diameter. Increasing the diameter gave the ies light softer shadows.
      But this stopped working in 3.15 for some reason.

      Im talking about this:

        Sorry, got confused with another option.
        It works fine for me. What build (date/number) are you using? And if possible - can you attach an IES file if this happens with all IES files you try?

          I dont get it to work in the 3.15.01-b26602-nightly.
          None of the ies files i've tried have worked. Im not allowed to attach an ies file here apparently, but here's the one in the image:

          It works just fine in 3.10.01-b26499-stable

            Where you able to recreate the problem? I could send a test-scene that renders incorrectly for me if that helps, but im not sure if that would matter.
