Light is not rendering

Post by ColdFortune » Thu Aug 05, 2021 1:12 am

Hi, im trying to render some light in a building and it's not emitting light from the light source I have created I have tried every setting and tried searching google for answers and it's just not working. I feel like just giving up if I can not get this issue solved.

My guess is you have a material painted on both the front and backside of the geometry. Twilight Render only renders the front side material and so it is likely that is what you are seeing. Making sure your front side geometry is always facing out toward the camera will help avoid that.
