View Full Version : Volume Light doesn't render under 2012?

Hi, I am using Maya2012, 64 bit under Win7
When I create a simple scene, and put a default volume light above a simple poly plane, then hit "Render", nothing shows in render view. However, when I switch to mental ray, it works!

I reset my render and light setting to default, but it doesn't help.

Why? I test it under Maya2010 and 2011, volume light rendered fine under Maya software render. Is it a bug in Maya2012?
Please, does anybody know why?

Thanks!

You're right, it's totally broken! :scream:

If you add other lights you'll see that it just renders a black cube in the shape of the bounding box.

I test it on different computers,too. Volume Light are still not rendering under 2012. Does it happen to everybody? or just me??

They work well in mr, but not in sw. Anyone have them working in 32bit Windows or OSX?
