Q: How many lights are in my scene? A: I don't know because Light Lister doesn't tell me!

How many lights are in my scene? I don't know!

How many instanced lights are there? I don't know.

Would it really be that hard to display a total number of lights in the Light Lister?

Hi! What do you think could be better- results per category - V-Ray lights, IES lights etc, or in total for all lights and instances? What do you want to do with this information?

Total lights
Instanced Lights

I want to know this because right now Vray is totally failing to correctly render a scene with a lot of lights, and I am trying to get understand what is happening, and at least knowing how many lights there are would be useful for me.

It would be great if you can get us a scene with many lights that is not rendering correctly. I'm planning some improvements in that regard so it will be useful to test.

Best regards,

Thanks Vlado, glad to hear you're on the case.

I uploaded this scene already, hopefully you can access it from here.
