I am trying to setup cull mask of DirectionalLight in the scene to cut off some objects from this light, but there is no effect…

What i am doing wrong?

bug topic:rendering confirmed documentation

**Godot version:** 3.x trunk **OS/device including version:** ubuntu 18.04,… nvidia **Issue description:** I have two meshes, one in VisualInstance layer 1 and the other in layer 2. I'd like the DirectionalLight to only affect one mesh but toggling the Cull Mask layers in the inspector has no effect on the scene at all (even toggling off all cull mask layers the scene is still illuminated). Switching the DirectionalLight to invisible hides the light source from the scene.

did you manage to solve this?

Still no. For now i am not working with Godot, so i dont know about any updates. Looks like this bug is still here
