      Greetings. I've been using vray for a while still have lots to learn, at this point i'm having an issue that's already been discussed, i'm using IES lights and they don't render.

      Now the thing is i've got a different IES in the model (is not in the same scene) the one i put first renders fine i even change the IES file and did some modifications on the settings (this means lots of trial renders) and i got the effect i was looking for, then for a different lamp, a different room (same model) added a new IES light did all my settings, and they don't show up at all, i really don't know what to do at this poit.

      i'm working with GI and BG Color Off (Enviroment) i cheked that lights are on in the Global Switches, the intensity of the light (tried a few already) is set to 9e+07 (wich i think is the maximun).

      I would love to get some help, please 😢

        You can absolutely have more than one IES in a scene. I have never encountered a problem having more than one. I would simply try another IES file. There is a nice set on the web that has like 20 IES files. I like to use this one unless a client has a specific file they need to render. In that case, you have to speak with the manufacturer if the file isn't rendering.

        Here is a huge collection of files.

          Thank you, i tryed that (change the IES file) and I manage to get more or less what I was looking for, I still need lots of practice for that kind of render (Night Scene, or interior). At this moment (same model) i'm having issues with a glass material, i'll upload some pictures to see if i can get some help, again thank you very much
