Title: Masking corona lights with texturemaps as source
Post by: Duron on 2015-11-11, 21:35:11

Hey folks,

i came across a problem which does not allow me alpha masking lights with textures. See below.

The native 3dsmax "Mask" map is apparently not supported by Corona. Same technique i'm using for years with vray - which is working without problems. Is there a workaround or did i've missed something?

Thanks.

CoronaLightMtl has opacity slot. Assign your mask to it and it will be the same as in Vray.

I don't think it's a workaround. ;)
