Standard Maya light support with instances

[snivlem]

Hi there,

Can't see any reference to this one in the forum search or whatnot, but would it be possible to add support for standard Maya light instances? Specifically the spotlight.

THanks!

I don't think instanced lights work in Maya in general... at least I could not get them to work either with the Maya software or mental ray renderers.

Best regards,
Vlado

Since I've had the pleasure of working with V-Ray for a number of years now, it seems I've totally forgotten that lights in Maya are not supported as instances as you point out in either mr or the standard sw renderer . Sorry for that Vlado!

Hehe, no worries We don't have a problem to support instanced lights, but the Maya stuff gets in the way...

Best regard,s
