This page provides information about the legacy lights in V-Ray for Cinema 4D.

Overview

V-Ray legacy lights are a category of lights that are non-physically accurate. Ambient, Direct, Omni and Spot lights are re-introduced in V-Ray 6 for Cinema 4D, update 1 after being hidden from the UI for a number of versions.

The legacy lights are appropriate to use in some scenarios, for example, in combination with V-Ray Toon material.
