Dark Fluorescent and Pendant Lights in Cinerender

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 09:43:55 GMT

Hello,

I cannot seem to get a fluorescent light to put out light. The light is turned on in the light setting (see picture) and the Cinerender light setting. I turned off the sun and the surface intensity. When I render in Cinerender everything is dark. It is the same problem with a pendant light. However, the recessed lights I am using put out light as expected. Any idea what the problem might be with the fluorescent and pendant lights? Thanks.

Cheikh:

One thing to try is to increase the Light Distance, it is currently set to a bit less than 5 feet. You can compare this value to the lights that are working.

David, thanks for the suggestion. The lights are on now.
