Turning off all light

42raingod_4964ca5b1a

When I started with DAZ back in the middle of 2019 - I made a scene that was lit entirely with "Ghost Lights" and Emissive Shaders. When I had this problem back then the solution was simple: put in a spotlight and point it away from the scene and it worked fine.

Now I have opposite problem - i'm trying to position and work with a spotlight, but DS's work light(s) will no longer turn off. I know this is a topic that has been brought up before and I've read several threads and tried several solutions to no avail, so i'm unfortunately bringing it up again.

My example is a very simple scene:

- 3 Primatives, 1 Spotlight, 1 Camera

- Camera's headlamp is set to off. I don't think it's the headlamp though, because the light clearly comes from the right side of the frame.

- Render Settings: Auto Headlamp  is set to never.

Can anyone help?

Try looking at the Environment tab of the Render Settings, you may be getting light from there.

Solved! Thank you!

In the Environment tab of the Render Settings, set Environment Mode to Scene Only (was Dome and Scene) that elminated what must of been a Dome Light of some kind!

Thanks for your help!
