Re: Emitter and Mirrored Components / Groups

I'm trying to apply an emitter to surfaces on a component, inside a group of components, that are mirrored.

Re: Emitter and Mirrored Components / Groups

From what I've read Deep Material is a Pro only feature.

Is there anyway to fix the light in the Hobby version?

Emitter and Mirrored Components / Groups

When I mirror a component with a light emitting surface, the second component is not emitting light.

*The Emitter is on the edge to give the effect of an LED strip.
