Hi,

I noticed that I cannot change the Omni light distance, it seems to be of same range, irregardless of any setting. In the Ofusion viewport, the bounding box always show the same size. Is there a way to change the light range?

Use the light attenuation properties to define a light distance (and its attenuation for the distance)

You can set it enabling the "Far attenuation" option and control with the start and end values (Intensity/Color/Attenuation group in the light Parameters)

But for greater control over the light attanuation use the "Custom Attenuation" (in the group with the same name in the light Parameters), in there you can control the range, constant, linear and quadratic values, activate it by enabling the "Use" control and in the "Range" set the distance for the light radious (and use the "Linear" and "Quadratic" to control the attenuation over the distance)

I see. Ok, the lights work but in the OFusion viewport, there is a white line which seems to be the bounding box and that is not updated, which got me confused.

It might be the camera frustum, if a camera is selected
