Is it possible to render instance lights outside of Solaris using the instance OBJ node and instancepoint based expressions? I get a bunch of errors when I try. I also tried point expression to pull in SOP data on a single light and got more errors so I’m guessing this is not possible either?
I’m using V-Ray Core 5.10.20 [5322b47e].
Hey @lloydwood ,
Sure, here’s an example using the instance attribute in a Geometry node. It’s a bit involved on the wrangle part for the preview but other than that - nothing complicated going on there. To note is the Object Properties on the Geometry node holding the lights - Cd and intensity are specified as forced attributes under the main tab - if you don’t do that, V-Ray will automatically filter them out to speed up the export and render.
Link to Scene.

Might be a workflow we haven’t considered - could you please share that hip file?
Best regards!
edit: I didn’t realize Andrei has already replied 
Regardless, hopefully the scene helps!
> I’m getting a lot of this kind of thing
I guess this happens in IPR? Could you pls send me your scene for tests?
Thanks Gosho! I’ll take a look at that scene.
Andrei - Yes it is happening in IPR. I’ll email you the scene because it won’t let me upload it here.
