I have been importing a number of 2d artworks for the walls of my galleries. I have been texturing using standard + emmisive  with the texture of the artwork in the emmisive slot. Doing this has worked well for more than a hundred uploads. Yesterday, since the recent upgrade, I uploaded a number of artworks and while they appeared normal they were labeled with a light icon in my inventory. Today, I tried to upload a mesh using the standard mode and it appeared as a light. I am unable to to see anything except a light ball in edit mode and and nothing when entering the experience.

This contains 2 of the failed meshes and one of the artworks from yesterday's upload that looks ok but appears in inventory as a light.

  On further experimentation, I found thet there may have been something wrong with the 2 meshes that did not rez correctly after uploading with no errors.. More art and some other stuff I uploaded looks ok but they still show in my inventory with light icons. Very weird.

  With the recent update it‘s possible to include lights with the uploaded objects. You may check if there are any lights in your project in Blender/Maya/whatever that may have been uploaded with your art

  That appears to be true.Blender automatically includes a light source with any new project. When deleted, the fbx file imports as an object. obj files import as objects even if there is a light source.

  When you export from Blender to FBX, be sure to check "Selected Objects". And be sure to manually select just those objects you want to export before you do so. Otherwise, the lights (and camera) will be exported and Sansar will see them.
