Title: Scatter lights?
Post by: ingemar on 2025-05-29, 15:38:37

I used Scatter clone lamps across a plane, but the Corona Light I added wasn’t cloned. Is this supposed to work?

Sorry, but I don't fully understand your message. Can you explain what exactly you did and what happened?
Scattering Corona Lights using Scatter is supported.

I have an inkling:
When you use Corona lights as "Instanced Children" in a Scatter object, you cannot see the instances in the viewport, which looks like there is no cloning happening but it is. When you render, the lights are there.

I think this is the issue.
I could be wrong, though, but I don't think so ...
It's a jungle out there!

Rewatching Monk ATM ^^

PS
I think there is a bug hidden in there. The lights should be visible nonetheless and when I switch the viewport display mode to Full, I can, for example, see 3 lights of 12 that I entered in Surface Sc attering "count".
