Maxwell Emitters Not Working
-
My emitters just stopped working for some reason. They were working fine earlier today. I tried restarting SU, rebooting my workstation, re-installing the plug-in with no avail. Emmitter materials just render with a weird diffuse color on them and do not create any light. Its very strange and has me stumped.
-
Craziest thing is that if I open my file that was working earlier today, the emitters work. If I copy and paste the emitter into a new file, nothing!

Got it! Turns out that an emitter has to have the default material applied to the backface.

I'm glad you found the answer already -- I was just about to post something
I've come to really love the entity info dialog -- I rarely work in SketchUp without it open... sometimes I wish I could make it a permanent part of the toolbar UI(rather than floating).
Best,

That dialog has really changed the way I work. My favorite is that you can edit the segments of an arc or circle after its created.
