Please try this new Area light

New Workspace Area light.png (5.49 KiB) Viewed 975 times

.
List:
New D3D Materials, all but one have Transparency (Area light Frame)
New Transparent / Solid button
Requires the Clintons3dPlugin
Solid [Default] Area light Frame (RClick)
Transparent:
Makes the Area light Frame transparent and copies an internal Area Shape to the Scene
Applies the current Color (D3D and Vray) and copies the current Matrix
Which means you can change the Area light's Location, Rotation, and Scale and then press the Transparent button
This allows you to Render the Area light without the frame in Vray and D3D
Vray
Supports Shadows
Add more Samples for less Noise
Default = 17 (similar to Model)

.
D3D
Does not support Shadows

Removed due to update

The Transparent/Solid terms are confusing. "This allows you to Render the Area light without the frame in Vray and D3D", so maybe call it Frame/No Frame.
I don't see the frame in any VRay renders. So it's a combination of Frame/No Frame for D3D and visible/not visible for VRay. So 1 button doing 2 different things in 2 different render engines. Looks like a second button is needed.
Is Solid supposed to update the Area Shape? If pressed all by itself it does nothing. RClick no meaning until after LClick.

Area Shape color is always white.

The color of the mesh is always white even after changing the light color.

Thanks for the feedback!

Renamed Transparent to Render Light
Model refers to as Render Geometry, but only works in Lightwork, not Vray

Renamed Solid to Show Frame

Vray, by itself, does not render the Area light and the only way to do it, is add the Area Shape to the scene

Fixed the Area Shape color always showing white
So, in this version, I am setting the whole Area light to Transparent
Before, it was just the Frame
Could not figure out how to make the Area Shape's material to not be affected by the Area light, hence not Shinny
So, I am setting Z Scale to 0.001

Not sure but I might Delete the Area Shape with the RClick button script
So, it will act more as Render Light / Show Light
Removed due to update

If you try to have more than 1 area light and make them render, one will become completely invisible. So only 1 will render.

Have not tried that yet...

I did add, Delete Area Shape to RClick
Render Light / Show Light

Edit: Just tried two Area lights and RClick does show the other Invisible Area light

Okay, think I have a final version
Area light Plane uses a D3D Constant Color with Vray Ambient Color material
Area light Plane does not hide like the last version and now actually shows the current color
Render Light
LClick - Hides the Frame and Loads the Area Shape (cube) to the scene with the current color, location, rotation, and scale
RClick - Deletes the Area Shape and shows the Frame
Vray

.
D3D

The only thing lacking. is D3D Shadows
