Ability to Select Lights from LightMix in VFB

[Joelaff]

Would love to be able to click a button or right-click a Light name in the LightMix area of the VFB in order to select that light in Max.

What selection behaviour will you expect if the lights in the respective LM entry are grouped by Instances/Groups/Layers?

[Joelaff]

It would select all the lights that influence that line item collection as shown in the Lightmix. So it with select all the instances. Or it would select all self- illuminating objects, etc.

It would of course be most useful for individual lights or groups of instances, but then again, that is where Lightmix is most useful as well.

Much of the time, when lighting, we need to adjust other properties of the lights other than just the intensity. Lightmix is great for which intensity adjustments, and to see what light is contributing what effect to a scene. But perhaps we want to adjust the size of a light or the Directionality, etc.

Light Lister helps of course. Just would be faster to be able to make those types of changes by selecting the light from Lightmix.
