Disabled Mesh Lights affect material Selects

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya Issues

I’ve found that in vray 3.5 when you have a mesh light disabled it turns off all the lights for material selects. The select will still receive reflection and gi but no direct light.

If the mesh light is on, everything works. If the mesh light is hidden, everything is ok. If the mesh light is visible and disabled it breaks.

I’ve attached a zip with a maya file, exr render and nuke rebuild example.

Thanks for the report. I’ve made a note for the devs to fix this. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I’ll update the thread once there’s progress.
