Exclude an object from all lights?

[Tim in Hollywood]

Hi,

Is there a simple, quick way to exclude an object (or several objects) from ALL V-Ray lights (without doing this manually for every light)?

Thanks,
Tim

Sounds like a job for Maxscript

Indeed it is

Maybe this will help: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/sc...exclude-lights
I've tested the script on several types of VRay Lights and it works. However, it isn't able to automatically assume "all lights selected". You need to manually select the objects and lights you want to include in the operation.

Hope this still kind of gets you close to what you are looking for.

Thanks for the help!

It appears that the linked script will do the trick. I'm not sure why I didn't find it? I had spent at least an hour browsing scriptspot.com before posting here.

Thanks again!!!

Haha! I totally understand. There are just way too many scripts there, so it's easy to not spot it

Anyway, I'm glad I could help!
Cheers!
