Can Karma light a scene from pyro fire volume? June 6, 2026, 5:55 a.m.

Thanks Thomas. I tried it using Karma renderer node but not using Solaris. It did not work as it did for Mantra. Perhaps I need to try it in Solaris?

Can Karma light a scene from pyro fire volume? June 6, 2026, 12:36 a.m.

With Mantra you can light a scene from a pyro fire volume by linking its output to a Geometry Light.

Is there an equivalent of using a light in this way in Karma to use the fire to light the scene (other than just using global illumination from the fire)?

As the fire flickers and intensifies, it would be useful to have the light intensity automated from its emission, rather than using standard point lights scattered about.

How to stop pyro explosion lighting object? May 15, 2026, 5:30 a.m.

I notice when I have an object like a sphere near a pyro explosion in Solaris, the explosion lights up the object with the light it emits.
Is there a way to stop the object being illuminated by the light emitted from the pyro?

I am using the Pyro Bake Volume node for the explosion shading.
