Hi,

some guys from Simplymaya forwarded me to your forum with my problem. I am fairly new to MR so I hope I am not wasting your time.
I am trying to animate my hdri sphere to achieve a sunset. It emints light, but no photons. Now when I do a render in maya it works fine, and I can see how the light is different in every frame. But when I render out my sequence using batch nothing seems to happen.
I did try MR with and without Gi first I thought it was because I hadn't checked the rebuild photon map, but that wasn't the problem.

any help greatly appreciated

cheers

It could sound stupid but did you unchecked the infinity box in the mentalllib node? :p
Maybe you cant catch the position of that node if the light comes from the infinity! I never tried that anyway, and have no time to try it. Let me know. :D
