Reducing light layers
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 9:42 pm
Morning all,
Sorry if this is answered anywhere, I did search but couldn't see it - no doubt something deeply simple.
I have a sketchup model with 8 light layers in it. The resultant igi file is too big for Blitz on the Ranch (around 600mb) so I need to reduce it and some of you mentioned you can flatten light layers into one to do this - how?
I've put all my lights onto the same light layer, but when I render, Indigo is still showing all 8 original layers, even though everything is on layer 1.
As theres apparently nothing on these other 7 layers, does it matter that they're still being exported and showing in the light layer list, will they still bloat the igi file size? Or is there something else I have to do to get rid of them?
Again, apologies if this is a simple query
