Emissive Light

Hello, I have used emissive for static lighting before in a clean project and it worked flawlessly but I recently converted a project to 4.18 from 4.17 and i cannot get emissive lights to give off any light at all after building. Any ideas what could cause this?

Hi!

I think with the multibounce skylight (with 4.18!! /4.17 didn’t have an official one!!) emissive lights are calculated under those parameters (number of skylight bounces)! So if it’s set to 1 (I think that’s the default) then you won’t have any emissive light bounce…
Hope it helps!

Good thinking, I tried this though and it didnt seem to have any effect. Wonder what other setting it may be? Ill have to keep tinkering. Think Ill compare notes with my other 4.18 projects. Thanks for the help!

I think the emissive “strength” in the material setting also changed at some stage… but I’m sure that was the first one you were trying to tune so…
Do you have Use Emissive for Static Lighting turned on?
