Lightmix layers accessible by maxscript (CMAX-I-220)

Corona Corona for 3ds Max Requests

It would be great if there was a maxscript method to access each lightmix layer and its value/tint/state

This would make certain automations for common tasks in lighting design really quick and easy instead of needing to load and save conf files. It could also help with automating common lighting states if lightmix layers were consistently named.

Another benefit would be that the value spinners and colour tint could be mapped to hardware controls such as MIDI sliders for physical slider adjustment of intensity and knob adjustment of HSL.
