A different question about adding point lights and Iray lights

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Can someone tell me why, when I have a point light in my picture to simulate a glow from a candle and then use an Iray light preset (doesn't matter which one) the point light disappears? It is no longer in the scene navigator and not in the picture. I've tried everything I can think of to get both lights to say in the pictures but haven't come across the right combination. Is it possible or impossible to have both types of lights in the scene. What am I missing? Thanks so much for any advice. Denise

    If you take and save out a preset for the candles, can you reload it without replacing the other light set?

    I haven't tried that. That's a good idea. I'll give it a shot. Thanks, mjc1016. Denise

    By default loading a lights preset clears any existing lights (but not mesh lights). If you hold down the ctrl(Win)/cmd)Mac) key while double-clicking the preset you will get a dialogue that will allow you to keep the existing lights. This applies to camera presets too.
