Hi,

How do I make the light shape visible when rendering? In my case I'm using an area light.

Thanks

When you select the light, on the Maxwell panel you should see the switch "Hidden for Refl/Refr". This option desn't make it visible for camera but only for reflection and refraction.

Do you need full visibility?

Hi Marton,

Yes full visibility it what I was after and from what I can see this can only be made visible through studio. I have now placed a plane as an emitter instead as its only
a light source from a window. :)

edit hmm..just so you know I'm not seeing the "Hidden for Refl/Refr" in the Maxwell panel within the plugin.

Ok, that is a bug,it doesn't show for all lights. I have fixed it for next build.
