Vray Light Lister + Xref + DR problem

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

Hello,

i have a series of xref scenes with lights in them. When using them in another scene, using the vray light lister to turn on/off those xref lights works on a local render. But when using DR, it seems that the light information is not send to the slaves, resulting in different light values between the local renderer and the DR.

Hi,

V-Ray Light Lister is not showing the lights in the XRef scenes, but this is expected. XRef files are external references and they can’t be modified.
If you open the XRef scene and modify it from there, it should work.

Could you share us, how you have managed to list the lights in the XRef scene in the V-Ray Light Lister.

Thanks for the feedback
if i remember well, the xref’ed scenes lights where just listed in the vray light lister, so i turned them on for a night view. And they were rendering well locally but indeed not on the remote DR.
Will check again.
