Hi everyone,
I'm using XGen for the first time and I'm doing some little tests. But here is my problem : the archives I've created have a VRayLightMtl with direct illumination on. But when I add them to my description and render, the direct illumination doesn't work. I've tried using huge values for the color multiplier, but to no avail. So I've tried unchecking the direct illumination, and it works, but it isn't actual light, so that's not really what I'm looking for.
Since I've tried my material on another object in my scene with the direct illumination checked, and it perfectly works, I guess the problem comes from XGen. But I can't figure out why, so if someone knows and can explain it to me, I would be delighted !
Thank you !
With direct illumination :
![]()
XGen_VRayLightMtl_DirectIllumOn
Without direct illumination :
![]()
XGen_VRayLightMtl_DirectIllumOff
