Hi,
I'm trying to make an emitter material but not getting very far.

I create a new material, add an emitter layer, set it to 'Image Emission', and pick an MXI. When I render a preview, the result is pure black. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Is it some setting in the MXI file I need to correct?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Derek

Hi mate,

If you're trying to use the MXED preview, you need to switch the preview engine to RS1.

Right click the preview window in MXED and change Preview engine from RS0 to RS1.

All hdr & mxi emitters will now render in the MXED preview window.

This is also true for BSDF & emitter stacks.
