Vray lights display as locators

[SonyBoy]

It would be great to get Vray lights to display AS lights in Maya at some point. They currently are apparently classed by Maya as locators, and display accordingly. This is a workflow annoyance as often you do not want lights displayed while animating, but do frequently need locators to show.

It might be possible, will make a note to look into it.

Hi,
The issue with the lights is now fixed. All VRay lights are now classified as lights not as locators. For this to work you will need to to set the following environment variable VRAY_MAYA_LIGHT_VP=1 and then start Maya. You will also need to download and install a nightly build of VRay from today.

Thanks! I look forward to this improvement. Will it always be necessary to set this env. variable though?

No, we're going to use it only for now. But for the nightlies, you'll need to use it, unfortunately, although it might be less than convenient.
