Actually, none of those checkboxes appear to do anything, in a regular CoronaMaterial as well as the LightMaterial. I am not sure whether they should work, that would be for the devs to say :)

The way I am used to doing it is using the RaySwitch material (drop the LightMtl into the Global Illumination slot, leave the Directly visible slot empty)

thanks for the nice workaround Tom. Hopefully the devs can chime in too so it's a bit easier to setup in the future

or a bit easier ;) just add Corona Compositing Tag to it, there it works

thanks burnin, that's almost as easy as the checkbox ;-)

It used to work but in the daily builds it's broken.

The corona tag works but when you apply a light material to a selection tag the whole object is invisible instead of just the part you apply the light material on.
