Hi all.
I have been trying to use some geometry as a light in my renders but still not working.
I am using the new Geometry method for the light object, but I am missing something here.
- Geometry lights works with any render engine, I mean it wroks for micropolygon and raytracing as well?
- I can use any surface shader in the geometry object.
- I there any example scene? I haven't found any example using them.
- Needs the geo object to be renderable? I mean with the display flag on and renderable parameter on. In that case, may I put the display flag in the geometry at SOP level and a Null SOP with the render flag so I can light with my geometry but it wont appear on the scene?

If anyone can drop some light here would be great.
Thanks
