Rectangle light with circular shape

I used to use rectangle lights to make trim lighting. Since the latest updates rectangular lights project a circular shape instead of a rectangle. Is this something you can fix?

Thanks a lot for your report.

To really get behind the exact cause of this, and to let you know why this is occurring, is there a chance you could send us the project, or just that specific part of it so that we can have a closer look? We applied some adjustments to the lighting for visual and coherency reasons, but again, to let you know exactly (part of) the project would be great to have (or in the very least a screenshot of how the lights have been setup in SketchUp, so a screenshot of that viewport in the same perspective as in Enscape). :thumbup:

You can upload the project, if possible, to wetransfer.com for example and send me the link via DM so that I can acquire it.

I’m commenting on this to attest this is still an issue within my Enscape 3.0 version as well

Any fixes for this yet? I’m still having this issue with Sketchup 2024/Enscape 4.3.0.1189

Hi @lunamum and welcome to our Forum.

In order to circumvent one of this natural limitation of our light sources you would require a dedicated ray-tracing capable machine, as that would allow you to also make use of more advanced Artificial Lights and with Enscape 4.4. we’ve also introduced “Emissive Materials as Ray-Traced Light Sources” furthermore providing a more realistic and true to life appearance and output.

If you’d like to see some concrete examples and a further explanation of all the improvements of ray-traced artificial lights you can check out this blog post here as well.

In case you actually do own a dedicated ray-tracing capable machine/graphics card and you still experience this behavior, please forward this to our support team directly alongside as detailed here so that we can investigate further depending on your project/scene setup.
