  • LightMix same names of lights

    Hi.
    I have a scene that created by another person, in this scene I have 2 light that not instanced, but with the same name. In LightMix and Rendering Elements I have 2 separate elements for each . But after saving it in single EXR I have only one of them. The same for the if I forget to add by myself number to any Render Element that already was added and have the same name. I understand the logic that EXR same layers by the name and if something have same name, will be saved only on of them. But may be can be found solution for avoid it? In terms of Render Elements it can be the same as in the Corona tenderer: just add number and the end of the name of Render element if similar RE already in the list. May be similar for the LightMix, if something have same name, just add suffix with additional number.
    Thanks,
    Andrei

    Adding a number is not good.
    You lose the way to get back to the original light at a later time.
    Scene cleanup is where it's at, not adding messiness to messiness.
    Max has a tool to rename stuff and give them a number, you should *really* do so in the scene.
