Title: Corona lights not emitting?
Post by: Jpjapers on 2015-01-12, 16:47:33

Hi, im having trouble. i have an interior scene. i have a rectangular light and a sun/sky system in place. i have a few lamps in the scene that im trying to use corona lights inside. however they arent emitting any light whatsoever. the sun and rectangular light are the only lights working in the scene. Am i missing something obvious?
Thanks
Jack

Can you post some screenshots or renders? It's hard to imagine. You rectangular light that IS working is Corona Light object? The lights that are not working are Corona Light objects? Is there some difference between them? Maybe they are facing wrong direction or the light is blocked by something?

Are you sure it's not light intensity and exposure thing? If you take a lightbulb that perfectly lit a whole room at night and bring it outside at noon, it'll "not emit" light too, you know ;]

I fixed the issue. I had the lights on the wrong units. Brainfart! I also realised its much harder to achieve a good balance for bright interior lighting and bright outdoor lighting.
