    Hi,
    in earlier V3D-versions, if you use Max’ Function Exclude Objects from lights, in the WebGL file later the lights still illuminates the object.
    Is there maybe now a solution or workaround to use the exclude lights in Max, that also works in the WebGL file?

    Use a mateial self-illumination param set to 1 to avoid shadowing.

    Hi Mikhail,
    thanks for your quick reply.
    I remember how i solved this problem in earlier days: The problem is, when a Plane (mapped Button!) attached to the cam and cam + target (-direction) are matching with the lightdirection. The plane is totally overexposured bc it gets the full “power” of the light.
    I solved this by bring the lights more near to my object and set up the cam Min/Max Distance so that both don’t get in their way. And also set the the self-illumination to 1.

    Sorry, this problem still not solved, but it’s in our TODO list.

    Thanks Mikhail!
    I know this is very difficult to solve and it would be fantastic if you can make it in one of the future releases. But with my workaround to avoid this problem i’m fine with that for now!
