Coming over to Max from Maya so this is likely a newbie question, but I’m unable to find a solution to this and I’ve also seen others ask the same question. So, when I create a rect/plane light in Max, why are the Skylight portal and Simple options grayed out and unavailable? I’ve even found tutorials online that seem to indicate this is not default or normal behavior.
Never mind, I now see these options are deprecated with GPU rendering in favor of dome lights.
Hi @SonyBoy
That’s exactly right - Skylight portals are not supported with V-Ray GPU as it’s not needed anymore with the Adaptive Dome lights, as described here: V-Ray for 3ds Max
