Spot Lights and Mental Ray issue
I'm using mental ray
and every time I try to render, it stops (saying that render is complete) but I have no file created
I checked upon the log and it says the following (for each light):
Warning: (Mayatomr.Nodes) : RLShape1.coneAngle: unsupported type of connection, current plug value used instead
Prog: (Mayatomr.Scene) : DAG node: BL2:coneShape2
?????????????????
what is it???
Appreciate any help
