revilo3d Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi im trying to "scatter" or place lights on the verts of some geo. Either way I can't get a final result. I got as far as getting the lights to scatter (trying to use object merge) but I couldn't get them to all point at an object. At this stage vertices of my geo would be preferred. Having a bit of trouble in general getting network types to talk to each other basically...its confusing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You want to use point instancing. All you need is a single light object and an object with the appropriate instance parameters or an instance object with a point cloud inside the object. See the example file attached and read the comments on the nodes. point_light_instancing.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 there are a number of good folks from SESI who post here regularly... but remember that bugs and RFE's should be sent directly to SESI in addition to being posted here or the SESI forums...
