Hi everyone!

I can not understand how to use the mesh ligts. I purchased "Render Studio Iray" and when I add the mesh lights nothing happen, I mean it appears in the panel "scene" but the ligth is off...

What happens when you render?

I can see them in the render but I'm wondering how can I set up them without seeing...  I mean, I Know I can do it selecting IRAY from Views but is there anther way to see them like a normal light? (since my mac cannot handle to work with the iray view)

thanks again

no, there is no way to see emissive lights without some render preview, sorry... but that's the way it works.
