Odd Sqaure Blocks or Shadows

vijayasimhabr

I am using the ready to use Scenes from the Beauty Lights Package.

Specifically, I am using Scene 09. I am getting these black squares.

 

Some additional notes

1. the black things come only when rendering is set to Scene (or Scene plus Dome). On Dome only, they are not there.

2. I have turned off all the headlamps, and turned off any other props.

3. Cameras are turned off too. I know Cameras can cast a shadow.

4. The black things are present from top view or side views. Only in Front view.

What else am I missing here?

Adding another image for additional clarity

Oh wait, it is the light. How do I get the lights in the scene but without the light thing itself show up in the scene. Never had this problem before.

Assuming this is Iray in Daz Studio select the lighht and turn off Render Emitter.

Richard,

Render Emitter. I will make a note of that, and try that in my next Daz session.

Meanwhile, I restarted Daz Studio, and I think, I had turned off "Visible in Render". I think. and the black shadoes went away. 

But, now that I  think of it, I might have actually, accidentally turned off Render Emitter. 

Thank you.

Some info about spot lights (a lot of it applies to other lights as well):

Info starts at around middle of the first page:
