sphere light issue since update

[pegaze]

hello, since the last update, i encoutred a problem with the sphere light,

i often use it for lighting a candle flame by puiting a sphere light through a flame image,

but since the last update, even turned to invisible the sphere light keep partially visible.

i tried to make a new assembly with sphere light and an image but it's the same issue.

the problem is i need to do a close up on the candle but it became impossible with this issue. any solution ? thanks

look at the attached images to see the problem.

2 images ok with the ancient version and one no good after the update.

regards.

Hello pegaze


Would it be alright to provide us with an example project file (only containing a candle and sphere light would be sufficient), so that I can test this under your conditions and advice you accordingly? If this is alright, you can export it by going to Extensions > V-Ray > Pack Project, and to send it as an attachment to support@chaosgroup.com or upload it to a file-sharing service of your choice. Please make sure to include a link to this forum topic for reference.

As a simple workaround I'd suggest you use Emissive material to shade the flame.
