hello
http://www.luxology.com/modo/tour/im...flowandui.aspx
it should be a great help to have such tools.
In one clic we should be able to see which polys share same material, glossy value, light contribution,....
is it possible ?

Sort of like the select by material function?

Best regards,

hello vlado, in fact it is not for selecting, but for seeing and controling.
In the video, he show that you can clic a pixel and see for example each light contribution for this pixel. If it is overburned you can see which light to minimize.
On clicking on a pixel you can see all polys that share the same material...

Well, you can sort of do that with the VRayLightSelect element - it can show you the contribution of each light. Of course, this requires extra storage compared to just recalculating the pixel.

Best regards,
