Animated lights

Hey pescado,

maya won't create auto-keys for a light, if that's what's confusing you. Just right-click on the attribute in the Channel Box and select Key Selected.

Good luck!

Muchas gracias Y!
Well, tthis is exactly what it was looking for!
And other question, can I do the same with background camera? I ask because I made the scene of such form that no matter how hard it regulates the intensity of the light, continues being illuminated.

Gracias de nuevo.

PD: Creo que lo que mas me gusta de éste foro, a parte de la cantidad extraordinaria de información, es la diversidad de personas de todo el mundo.
c!

Hey, I'm not sure what you mean with the "background camera" but you should be able to key any attribute at any time. You can also key attributes that are not in the channel box by bringing up the Attribute Editor, right-clicking on an attribute and selecting "Set key". I hope that helps.

As for the always illuminated scene Maya does have a system where if there's no light in the scene it creates a default light so you don't get a black image. AFAIK Maya should detect your light even if it has 0 intensity and not use the default lighting, but you can deactivate it by going to the Render Settings, in the Common tab, and scrolling down to the Render Options, uncheck Enable Default Light. Maybe that will help you.

Good luck!
