I've ran into this before, but in light of Teri's previous thread, I figured I'd toss this out at the lighting masters (read : anyone who likes to click a lot in the Light Lab!) My problem is this : Sometimes when I build a scene, all goes well, until I try to use a volumetric light. Then... Nothing. No volumes. No dusty light, just the same look that one would get from a regular linear spotlight. Teri's thread shows my scene, I just didn't want to bog that thread down with more of my idiocy. I wanted to show volumetric light coming off of a street-lamp type prop. The setup went fine, the scene is no different from a million other scenes. But when I tried to set up some volume lights, I got nothing but the effect of a linear, stock, regular non-visible spotlight? When I saved off the objects and re-inserted them into a blank scene, one in which i had already set up ONE true volume spotlight, everything went fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyeon know WHY or HOW to get around it, short of re-creating the entire scene? What am I doing wrong? The link goes to Teri's thread, this pic is the last one I rendered before trying to shift into volumetrics...
