hi guys,

I've a simple scene (attached): a grid (grid_object1), a box (box_object1), a light (pointlight1) and an instance light (grid_instance, pointlight_instance, instance1).

I want the pointlight illuminate only the cube and not the grid…in the render tab of the grid, in the “light mask” field I have written: * ^pointlight1

But now the grid is not illuminated (neither by the pointlight neither by the instanced lights)

what am I doing wrong?

Strange, maybe it's the instance sop, which is causing this behaviour?
