How to get rid of default light in iray render

No matter what I try, I always seem to have a default light from the right:

  • New scene
  • Add plane
  • Add cube
  • Add camera
  • Turn ‘headlight’ off in new camera
  • Render using new camera

I’m expecting a black scene. Even if I add a spotlight, turn its intensity to zero AND point it  way, I still get the same render.

Where is this light coming from?


Thanks.

    By default, I believe, that Iray is set to Scene and Dome.  The light is coming from the default HDR loaded into the dome.  If you switch to Scene only, under Render Settings > Environment, that should give you the lightless scene you are after.

    Thanks so much, I feel like a dummy for not searching this sooner.
