Hi Guys,

I'm working with Corona (Version: B2 daily Sep 18 2018 (core 3 (DailyBuild Sep 18 2018)) on a Mac with the new C4D.
When using the Setup Interactive Light mix there is an option to create layers by grouped lights.
However every light keeps its separate layer. How can I group lights so the interactive light mix places them on a single layer.

So far I tried: Grouping them in the hierarchy, give them all the same object buffer, all the same layer and all the same name.
None of this works. What am I missing here :(.

Thanx

Hi there, I wasn't able to get this to work either so we will need to look into it. A workaround though is to drag the lights you want to be grouped into one lightselect group. This will then show up in the lightmix editor as one.

Hi Beanzvision.
Thnx for the reply. We are indeed familiar with the manual approach.
But with big scenes this takes some to set-up. Let hope it works in the next update :D.

Thanx for now

I can imagine it being tiresome, I'll keep you posted on the situation.

Thanks,
