manual light layers setup

[pxl666]

hi guys!

is it possible to assign light to a layer manually? after scene being exported?
i tried to copy/paste pieces from layer blending testscene but it gives me error or scene renders pithblack....any ideas??

Hi, it's possible, but your scene file will have to be using the new emitting materials, not meshlights.
