WS - How do i turn the Spotlight invisible?

Post by Tiles »

I have inserted a spotlight into my scene. Then i selected another object, and noticed that the spotlight stayed visible. No big deal i thought. I turned on the Object Render Attributes in the stack. And tried to turn it invisible here. No luck. Checkbox for invisibility is still checked. And i cannot uncheck it.

The Object Render Attributes in the LE shows the same checkbox unchecked. And i cannot check it.

Is there a way to turn a Spotlight invisible? Looks a bit dumb with this bulb in the scene. I would need the light only, not the lightmesh too :)

Delete the "Object Hider" node inside the Spot light.
Not sure what is for but I'll guess it has something to do with the Model side.

Excellent. By deleting the Object Hider the Object render attributes checkbox for invisibility becomes available again. Many thanks :)

object hider just hides object's mesh when widget is on.
