I managed to do an update on my own.
I took the last version my Student made before he left and added the LS modes of Vray Next.
RenderElementScript v1.361.zip
The last version he made had some additions to the last one I posted here:
Light Selection:
-In any selection set: adds only lights which are in selection sets.
If a light is in two selection sets it gets added just once.
-All Selection Sets: adds only lights which are in a selection sets.
It will add lights which are in more than one selection sets as often as they appear in a different set. (I think this was necessary for the following)
Grouping:
-by selection set: Is only active when 'All Selection Sets' is checked.
It will group the lights using the selection sets they're in. The LS will then have the name of the selection set.
If you put a light in two selection sets it'll appear in both LS!
Sorting:
-Sort elements by name: Self describing.
Known issues:
-'Only activated lights' will result in an error if 'all selection sets' and group 'by selection set' are both checked.
I didnt really needed any scripting skills to add the Vray Next modes.
Fixing the issue and making a more user friendly 'group by selection set' option is a completely different thing.
It might take a while till I'm able to address those since I have to first find the time to learn MAXScript.
I think the script will still work with 3.6 (except the modes from Next). But I can't test it right now.
