Arnold and lights

[TerpyDoubt]

Does the arnold renderer not pick up any other lights apart from those listed under the arnold tab. Im trying to use a spot light but its just not working with arnold, but all the other renderers are picking it up?

EDIT : MAYA 2018

spot lights work with Arnold

Maybe you just haven't increased the light intensity enough?

[TerpyDoubt]

Set them all at max and still nothing

[TerpyDoubt]

Can you only use one spotlight?, ive realised that as soon as i add more than one, arnold stops seeing them

[TerpyDoubt]

uhh ok i think ive figured it out. The renderer is only picking up the spotlights that i have selected in the main view 😕

Hi!

In Arnold Render View "Isolate Selected" is enabled

Can we pretend this never happened 😄 .

Thanks a lot, ive only been using the software a few weeks and sometimes i accidentally hit buttons that seem to change things, and i can never figure out how to fix what I done xD
