Hi,

I've made a scene that has a box with flourescent tubes inside. I've also created solid rectangle (3) arrayed around this object as well as a floor and backstop.

The problem is that the 3 rect. do emit light but that light never 'reaches' any other objects. They glow, but it's like they have no power.

Scale is set to one and the objects in the scene are drawn in inches. The lights are about 2' sq. and about 12' away from my central illuminated box.

I can't figure out whats wrong here. I've tried boosting the 3 rect. emitters light output upto 100000 w/m2 still other object are black.

If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Are you using the Beta or one of the old RC. Is w/m2 the default for emitters. I guess I never really paid attention, but leave that setting on the default whatever that may be. Posting a screenshot may also help us help you.
