In another thread the discussion of this item centers around points, price, moaning.
I bought it, I want it, I just want it to work.
Installs, appears in content, when clicked it is in scene, you can translate it , rotate it.
you can look through it. In parameters all you can change are intensity and color.
Clicking items such as gobe does nothing
When render button is pushed object is black with no light.
Please help, went through hours of grief with the ambient light
Thank you

    Moved to the commons since it isn't a commercial product for sale. The thread about this pack is here http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/27675/. The PA has been very active in it so you may get answers there

    In render settings, Max Ray Trace Depth has to be 1 or greater

    In the spotlight's settings (parameters tab), check these before anything else:

    SHADOW - make sure 'shadow type' is set to 'None'

    LIGHTING CONTROL - ensure 'set light strength with surface ambient strength' is set to 'Off'

    *** make sure you have the parameters set as above and try a test render, then take it one step at a time from there.
    But if that still doesn't work, sounds like it could be an install issue.

    hope that helps

    Thank you all, on the fourth installation.
    Two by way of DAZ Installer.
    Two by way of copy and paste content files.
    Got it to work.
    Bottom llne is that these are useful products, shame that it is
    heavy lifting to install.
    Thanks again.
