Vray / Python - odd shape node behavior when renaming

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

I have a little problem. I'm writing a script where it will create a render layer per light and rename it but the way light renaming works is a bit odd.

Here is the problem.

If I have maya Area light and rename it to Light

I will have
Transform node : Light
Shape node : LightShape

With vray lights I get this
Transform node : Light
Shape node : Light

Now I try to specify shape node or transform but none of it work I always get an error ValueError: More than one object matches name: VL__gfsdagh #

any chance to get it tweaked for next nightly? :s so its nameShape.

thanks, bye.

It is a Maya error, not Vray.
You already have a light with the name "Light". It is why you have this error.
