Issue with Spotlight Objects in D5 Render After Importing from Rhino 8

Get Help How to
1

Hi Sir/Madam,

I am new with D5 render and I am using Rhino 8. I created separate files of ‘spotlights’ and ‘Building’ with Rhino 8. I used D5 “import” command to import the two files. However, I can only see gumball for ‘spotlight’ file but cannot see the spotlights objects in the D5 Render, therefore unable to play with the spotlight objects.

Hi @joncheng20

May I know how these lights were created? Are these from Rhino?

If it is created in Rhino, it can be brought to D5 Render by the use of the LiveSync Plug-in, then proceed to enable the Light Sync Icon

Thank you for your quick reply. I can see the lights created in D5 Render by the use of the LiveSync Plug-in.

I have another questions.

  1. First, I finished rendering my building model with materials in D5 Render.
    Now I added new layers of lights in the Rhino building model
    How can I add the lights into the rendered building model in D5 Render without
    redoing the material render process in D5 Render ?

  2. I sometime encounter problem with using Rhino LiveSync with D5 Render. I am unable to use LiveSync Plug-in. It is not very consistent to open Rhino LiveSync with D5 Render successfully.
    What is the reason of causing this issue?

Please let me know if I need to provide more details.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there,

  1. You can add the new layer of light by either Live-Sync (which should automatically reflect once there are any changes made from Rhino) or Direct Import via d5a file. I think the safest bet would be to use the Live-sync.

  2. May I know which version of the live-sync you are currently using? It would be best to try to reinstall the plug-in and ensure that you are currently using the latest version.

Let me know of the results. Thank you.
