help with photon map.

[vbk!!!]

Hi,
I double the post from sidefx forum. Sorry for that.

I use a IndirectLight for my render.
I created a photon map on disk I want to use it to light my scene but when I untoggle the Auto-generate Photon Map button, I loose the indriect lighting.

I though that unchekcing Auto-generate Photon Map allows the indiret light to use the .pmap file from the photon_map parameter to light the scene without the need to recreate amap ofr each frame.
Obviously, I am missing something.

How I can use my pmap to light all my animation ?

Thanks for your help;

Vincent
