No multilight?

Hi all,
the multilight (sun + 2 lights in a room) does't work in LW plug-in (work well with Cinema 4D, 3DS max, Rhino plug-in...) but not with LW (PC version 64 bit). Any1 has experimented that?
The same scene open from Maxwell Studio works well with multilight but
not if I run it inside LW 9.2 64 bit (last version of LW open beta Release candidate 2 released yesterday)...

I know this is a little limitation for now.

but it is possible from within LW..

here is how..

- start your render as you'd normally do from LW .. hit render.
- as soon the render starts (the MXCL window opens)
- click stop render (don't leave MXCL)
- click tab "Render Options"
- enable multilight tick box
- push render again (top right of MXCL)

Now you have multilight..

Hope that helps. :wink:

if you have 3 emitters in 3 layers, Maxwell considers it one light..

make each one of your lights a separate object.. it will work.

we're adding layers support for multilight as we speak..
