Are instanced ies lights supported in corona?
The ies (or a regular corona light) renders in the reference object but not in the instances.
How do you set this up to work correctly?

Hi there,

Seems to be working here for me. Perhaps it's the IES profile that isn't playing nice? Have you tried others?

@Jojorender Curious if you're using a Mograph Cloner set to Render Instances or Multi-Instances? I have had some weird behaviors in Cloners when using lights. I was setting up a test with Mograph and got funky results any time I changed settings, mostly with either the IR or the Interactive Viewport. I was going to see if the final render matched the funkiness, but it locked up and crashed.

For whatever reason, C4D hasn't been generating a proper crash report or scene file otherwise I'd post it.

Sorry for the late response... deadlines.
I got the ies to render by turning off "render instance" in the instance object.
Didn't make that clear that I'm using "RENDER instances".

No multi-instance for me, still on R18.

Thanks all.
