slawnick Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Need to emit light from a large (12' x 6') LED panel. Playing with the Area Light Parameters has no effect at all. Max Help says you need to run a Maxscript to "convert to area light" found in the Utilities tab; that selection does not exist there. But, according to Help, running that would get me the same control choices that the Area Light already offers. Am I missing something here?

SgWRX Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 what isn't working for you? for example, i just setup a mr area spot, set the area parameters to 4ftx4ft and it produces soft shadows as expected. one thing is that i can't see the 4ftx4ft rectangle (square) in my view port unless i'm actively resizing it by right-clicking on the spinner for size and holding, then moving the mouse up/down.
