Mesh light to Group

Post by Racleborg »

Hi

Is it possible to add Mesh lights to Light Groups, so that they can be tweaked during rendering?

Thank you

....I think I've worked it out. Is it to assign every other light to a group and then use the Default to control what's left, e.g the mesh lights?

It should be possible to select a light group in the emission node.
Does it not work? Can you post the scene?

Yes, select in the node. I don't know how, but completely missed it! Thanks

It lacks a label because I did not want to make the node too big vertically.
And if I write it on the left then you have only very little space for the light group name.
So you can only recognize it by the icon (or if you hover over it with the mouse).
