So...can someone tell me if they've had this happen to them:
In 3D Max, I spent time setting up a number of lights and their individual settings. I saved the scene states, did some renders...everything was fine...except now, I am trying to go back and re-render, and the lights, THEY DON'T RENDER. I've checked their settings in the light Lister, and it shows them being on, etc. BUT, when I quick render, Nada.
Ideas? Please...need help asap. It would, of course, happen during the week I need it to work most....
Check you exposure settings under Rendering/ Environment. If you're using standard lights your Global Lighting level should be set to 1.0 and your exposure control should be <no exposure control>.
If all else fails, merge your current scene into a new blank file. Your current file could be corrupt....

Thanks in advance, for any help...
are you using radiosity? or are they standard lights
Standard Lights
Check you exposure settings under Rendering/ Environment. If you're using standard lights your Global Lighting level should be set to 1.0 and your exposure control should be <no exposure control>.
