(*Edit* - see below)
I too am having difficulty with my emitter. It and it produces
no light onto the other objects regardless of size, intensity, many different kinds of tweaking in studio, etc. However, I never put SP2 on my XP and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it as I can't see this being something juan and crew just overlooked as it's obviously way too big a problem. So I'll try putting SP2 in and seeing if that makes things any better.
More on a side note, like faraz I waited until now to switch from the beta, and I see a
lot of promise with v1.1 here. It's not a perfect workflow yet, but a pretty darned neat product is unfolding I think.
Edit: Well, without doing the SP2 thing I am now getting results. I was used to the way the Beta worked, and v1.1 is a different animal One thing, my memory amount, which was fine before, is apparently no longer adequate, and that seem to actually have a little effect on the lighting as wel as creating a number of other little problems. Also, the way the lights work in v1.1 are different than in the beta. So I retract what I said above to some extent and am moving ahead.
