        Once again this is thomthom's file rotated to view the back side of the 2 boxes.

        Rendering setting for attached pic:

        Global Switches: all Headings under Lighting: OFF
        Indirect Illumination: OFF
        Camera: Standard:
        Settings Environment: Both OFF

        (SU shadow on or off makes no diff to rendered image)

        Unless I'm missing other settings in Vray:
        Why is the SU shadow still illuminating the rendered Vray Scene?

          I like small simple scenes thomthom πŸ˜„ After a simple copy & paste. I added 1 IES light to each box as shown in the pic. I also removed the light planes from the 3 IES light boxes prior to rendering. The attached pic clearly shows a number of unintended results.

          I've not had too much experience with IES - but from what I understand the result from them can vary greatly from IES to IES. But you mention you set the IES lights to 5000lm and 10000lm - but there is no lumens light unit for IES lights. You have only the Power property to adjust the intensity of what the IES is set up to be.

            ? I'm not really sure what you mean by this. The burned out right cube? If that's the case - and you did not adjust the intensity when you turned off Physical Camera then that is normal. With physical camera you need a lot more light. So when you turn it off you must adjust accordingly.

                  I made a mistake! the picture was showing Spotlights, not IES lights. I have now edited the picture information 😳

                    thomthom is had to edit my previous post, and picture information. I hope this might attract a better response. 😳

                      i tested this one again and again tomot including the old version. so it seems to me its a bug, whilst i reported that to the beta testing section of asgvis.
