I'm using Maya 7 and rendering with Mental Ray.
In the past I have had no problems getting photons, GI, FG, etc. working with spotlights. But just recently my spotlights have been ignoring all of that. When I create a directional light in the same scene GI works just fine. So I know GI is working but only for my directional light. My "Emit Photons" settings are identical for my spotlight and directional light.
How do I get photons and GI working on my spotlights? Anyone experienced this before? How did you fix it?
Thanks!
