Light Channel - intensity gets set to 0
Hi,
I have a question about how the Light Channels behave. I have 4 lights in my model. I will turn various lights on/off via the check boxes in the Light Channels dlg. Then I'll render (either a still, or an animation). I've noticed that when I turn a light off, the next time I go into the Lighting channel dlg the intensity has been reset to 0.
That kinda defeats the purpose of having a checkbox to turn a light on/off. But more importantly, I now need to remember what that light intensity is. In other words "checking" the checkbox for a light that has 0 intensity does nothing.
So kinda smells like a bug to me. Can you confirm the behaviour?
I render a lot of animations and that might have something to do with it. I will usually go into the setup dlg from the rendering screen when the animation rendering begins. (It asks if you want to stop the rendering). I say no, then go into the Lights tab, and from there into the Light channel Dlg to check the light settings to ensure they are set how I want them.
regards,

Yes - it does seem to be a bug.
We added the checkboxes recently to make it easy to flip a lighting channel on or off, but must not have integrated them into the saved setting properly.
We will add it to our list of things to fix.

Hi Al,
I haven't tested this yet. Was this addressed in LH14? More generally, is there a "what's new/fixed" document somewhere?
cheers,
