Fake emitters not emiting

Post by TSPCo » Sun Nov 04, 2012 2:38 am

Hi Guys!
I downloaded the latest greatest TWR earlier today, it seems to work fine, but I have one problem, my fake emitters aren't emitting. Here is the problem, I have used fake emitters to light up computer screens in the past, but maybe I am missing a step, it has been a while. I select my material (picture) in the material editor, go to templates and select fake emitter, in this case the 100w one, render the scene and the screens aren't lighting up, like I remember they used to, what I am I missing?

Are you making sure the front face is facing outward?

Yes they are I checked that. First, after a bit of head scratching, I figured it out. I imported the pictures as pictures not as materials, we are good to go!
Thanks Chris for replying!
