Materials in lights....

I'm not sure what is going on but it would seem on both my work and home systems the materials that are normally attached to the "preset" lights are all missing. I noticed it at home last night that whenever I added a light into the scene the materials were gone. However if i called up an old project that d lights they were there.

 

Oddly I came into work today, dragged a light into the scene and same thing...I attached a pic.

 

Is this a corrupted user thing?

I've ran into that.

They've changed the view modes in Action. 

The little yellow triangle in the lower right corner signals you're not in the live preview mode.  Instead of selecting F4, try 3 and see if the light "presets" come back...I think that's what I did.

 

Here's Grant's video on Live Preview mode:

Hope that helps.

Bing...that was it, another little "gotcha" to watch out for. Thanks much...
