Hey

Any way to have Id's of light materials?

I don't think there is a difference between the IDs of the VRayMtl and VRayLightMtl, maybe I am misunderstanding the question?

I have around 300 ids in scene :- ) And max one is limited too... 15? Unless I use some script... but I try to avoid that. Would be great if all vray materials had materialId channel - I think maya does it with extra attribute...

Yea I'm trying to avoid scripts as then you have to go over render farm and troubleshoot the issues and so on... Already had lots of "happy time" with MCG graphcs from AD...

Much more prefer to have material Ids in materials like maya offer.

My script doesn't need anything on the farm, it just sets the Max ID via script that you can't do via the UI. The 16 limit is just because of the old UI but under the hood it can go up to 16,000 I think!

Hey

Mm thanks, will look in to it then !

For the moment I just used include/exclude list on render element- nice feature!
