Hey! I'm attempting to get some lights to rotate around an object in Maya, like this:

I've grouped the lights together and keyframed the Y rotation of the group.

However, when I play the animation, the lights don't move.

Oddly, I've noticed that the position of the lights "refresh" upon clicking on the group in the outliner:

Why is this? How can I get these lights to rotate when playing the animation? I've included the .ma file in this post!

Hi!

 

As Far as I know, Arnold Lights are not a suppored node type in Mayas Cached Playback as of yet. Turn off cached playback and everything should move fine.

 

I hope it helps!
