I have a scene from someone else where they have applied a bend modifier to a number of vray lights, I'm talking 288 lights. If I delete the bend modifier the light moves location. Is there a way to delete the bend modifier without the location changing...ie, a script of some sort or a way to collapse to the light only.

Can you post the scene so that we can take a look?
Best regards,

Hi Vlado. I need to get this rendered by tomorrow so if you have time now that would be really appreciated. I think this modifier is causing crashes when trying to render.
Here are just the lights - max 2014.

Steve having a quick look at the scene I reckon the best thing to do is draw two arc splines through the light centres, use the spacing tool with follow on to instance a light along it using the same count as you're replacing and then select all the lights and rotate them in local space so that they all tilt down - you might be better off taking the pain and doing the final adjustments by hand - it'll take you an hour but it'll be done.Comment

Thanks for looking. I thought it might be a case of having to re-do. I'm always looking for the more simple solution though
Vlado, it wasn't the lights causing the crash after all. I just merged a lot of meshes into a new object and this seems to have solved the crashes so no rush to look at this now. Cheers
The lighting is working finein the scene but I'm a bit of a stickler for having things set up correctly hence the question about the lights and modifier.Comment

what about changing bend value to zero on all of them with script?Marcin Piotrowski
