  • Specified default names for lights at creation - Call a new DomeLight a DomeLight etc.

    At creation every light in 3ds Max is named only "VrayLight" regardless which type of light it is. So I need always to rename them, to be able to know which one is which.

    They should have by default a clear naming: RectLight, DomeLight, PointLight etc.
    Also the icons could look different.

    In Maya it was solved better.
    Thanks for considering!

    Light modes can change after creation (i.e. rectangle to sphere, and so on.), so it's sketchy to name them that way.
    In Maya, there are different light types on creation, and most of those can't change their type after the fact (with the exception of the rectangle being able to turn into a disc.)
    However, here's a scripted creation tool which does that, beyond other things.
