Light Icon with an X

When I reopen a scene of mine, one or two of the lights appear with a big red X on it. What does this mean? What’s more, can we get a section added to the documentation that covers lighting? I apologize if it’s there and I couldn’t find it… it’s unsearchable.

The search is working fine for me. What issue were having with it?

The lighting documentation is here:

Lighting & Shadows

We have several new pages coming soon along with updates to a few of the existing pages.

I’m just an idiot. There’s a drop down on the search bar that allows you to pick where you want to look… I never noticed this, and since it defaults to UDN I wasn’t able to search the Documentation.

Hey Jason,

The red X on the light means it has a few overlapping lights on it so it isn’t affecting lighting and will cause a performance drop.

Best Regards,

Ryan
