mass edit trace sets

[super gnu]

ive got 600 water droplets which are sometimes refracting a super bright object. i suspect its a vray light.(which is set to be invisible) doesnt appear to be a way to set vray lights to be invisible for refraction but visible in reflections?


i thought "trace sets..! "

then i realised that you can only set the trace set properties for one object at a time. so.. doing it 600 times? no thanks!


solutions?

Is attaching the droplets in a single object a solution?

[super gnu]

no they are all keyframed individually, exported from tyflow. i *could* collapse them, but it would be using a third party script or something, and an animated mesh that complex would probably be pretty ugly performance wise.

You should be able to easily script this, no?

Would this work?

[super gnu]

that would be perfect, apart from the fact ive discovered that you cant put lights in a trace set ( so ive found a workaround.
