  • Are they working in a regular render? What is the Environment Mode set to in Render Settings (after adding an Environment Settings node or doing an Iray or Filament render or draw)?

    appears like it should,.. and scene only

  • Which canvasses are you using?

    I've tried it as a  Lightgroup,  w/ the distant light selected in the nodegroup, I also did a LPE, with Advanced node on the Distant light named Distant and the Expression <L'Distant'>.*E

    So Apparently,  Distant Light,. is considered Enviroment,.. not a light like the other lights, but I guess I shouldnt be surprised, the emission never does well for me.. use light group for them as well as normal lights so why would Distant not be head scratchingly weird,
