it seems that scaling a vray sphere light have some issues or not excepted behavior http://c2n.me/3ynlz4T.png the light is scaled down to the red ellipse, but you see the sphere in the material around… is this known? thanks and best regards themaxxer

I don’t think that scaling in viewport has any effect on the actual light. you’d probably better off modelling an object of the correct shape and use it as mesh light.

The V-Ray sphere light will not work correctly with non-uniform scaling (it uses sampling that is specific to spheres only); you need to use a mesh light for that. Best regards, Vlado

well that’s bad… but good to know. I thought it works with scaling. maybe you should lock it, so it can’t be scaled, it’s a bit unclear because you can scale them… what I miss for default vray light’s is still a cylinder shaped light, because I think the meshlight works not the way the default ligh…

+1 for the cylinder mode. I use meshlights for it currently but I often found myself in a situation where cylinder mode would have been useful.

+1 for cylinder !!! I don’t understand why it’s still not there …
