Hello,

Somehow I made my light and MR sun disappeare in all viewports. They are all on one layer which isn't hidden. They can be selected by name and the gizmo appears but no icon. Also, they do render.

Thanks for your help

Never mind...

Got them back.
I thought it was customize-preference-Viewport-Non-Scaling objects

This was still at it's default of 1"

Tried adding another light and all of a sudden they all decided to appear again. huh...

Could be my video card?

Had the same problem and renders are black as if there are no lights in the scene.

 

Created a new Vray light and the old light magically reappeared. Then deleted the new light.  The original light stayed in the scene which then rendered out everything normally. Saved the file, reset, imported the file - still good to go.
