Title: Lights - Hide in Display Floater
Post by: pedrocorreia on 2017-10-18, 10:24:15

When i hide the Lights on the Display Floater in 3Ds Max, the scene doesn't render these same lights.
Everything goes dark...

That's not a bug, hidden lights are not rendered by default. To change that, go to render setup>scene>render overrides and tick on render hidden lights.

I'm riturning on this becouse I think it's a bug, or, at least, very annoying...
I think that "Hide by category" should work only at viewport level, which is how it is intended to work as you can read here:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-17B0FB7F-543B-4727-A16B-EAAF80922666-htm.html
Why should I hide all lights as the render would be black?
If I activate render hidden lights it would override all my selection on hidden lights on scene explorer... so not so usefull
I'm not sure but a friend confirmed me that in Vray if you hide lights by category, they works in render.
