what settings do you have

I tried the default emitters like, "B,A," and custom. The emitters do not work right unless you take a custom one higher then v:1

what units ?

I just tried a render with an emitter into my model

Type cool white
intensity 300
Units: Power

Im getting total black in the render

try other units. sorry i'm rendering, can't look precisely into studio, but worked great for me.

Are you using studio to put place emitters or placing emitters in maya?

Posted: **Wed Jan 18, 2006 3:25 pm**

with emitters, the only tests i ran for now, were setup (materials) in studio.
with sunlight i have just translated scenes, but i always render from a studio scene.

did you try excitance, Intensity, radiance ?

Posted: **Wed Jan 18, 2006 4:32 pm**

I tried those three, excitance, intensity, and radiance. You can see the emitter barely. Its not really emitting anything.

weird, is the scene heavy ? i could look at it, just to see if it's the same here

I have the same problem trying to render directly from Max. The preset emitters don't work. In fact, Physical Sky/Sun don't work either unless I open the mxs in studio and set it up there.

Thanks man ill try to get u a file when I get off work. Maybe its just a bug with the plugins. Ill have to try to render in studio.

I got the same problem :/

I can crank the intensity up to 100 or 10000 without any changes.

I'm going to sing you guys a little song:

Studio!
Studio!

Hey, that's right! Studio's the one for me,
since the Maya plug-in blows right now!

Studio!
Studio!

Where you can set up your lights properly!

Studio!
Studio!

Better, in every way, for working with Maxwell right now.

Studio!
