  • Light Select element with linked lights

    Hello -

    I have my sun linked to my dome light so that I can rotate both at the same time with scripting for different cameras. I've just noticed that when "Sun" is linked to "Dome" they both show up in the Light Select element that only includes "Dome". Is there a workaround?

    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Found a workaround:
    create dummy, align to dome.
    link sun to dummy.
    add an orientation constraint from the dummy to sun.

    For whatever reason the "Select and Link" button links all attributes, including lighting.

      Can you send us a simplified version of that scene for investigation?

          I think this was a bug actually that we fixed recently; not sure if it's in the latest official builds - Svetlozar will confirm.

          Best regards,

            Yes, this is fixed in our internal builds and I will see if we can add it to the next service pack release.
