Lights On/Off Toggle Shortcut to work with for Vray Sun also. The switch works fine with VrayLights, so I guess it would be easy to work with Suns too. :slight_smile:

Also, If could suggest a tool that turns on/off lights when u select them. Taking it further, the tool would be nice to work on lights in closed groups. It would be handy for lighting design, I think :slight_smile:

I could illustrate that if it’s not understood

mmm

Thanks for the links guys, but I’ve already used the v-ray light lister, and it works OK, but…

I generally don’t like light lister because you need to know which light is which, and with many lights it becomes a drag. Even if you rename them.

Opening / closing the menu also is a drag, if it was toggled, it would be better, but it isn’t.

I’m looking for a tool, I don’t know if its in any software, that links lights on/off state to a specific camera. I’ve tried Scene States for that, but it doesn’t work that well…

Also, a different tool that changes the on/off state of lights, just by passing over them. Something like a brush that does not select the light, to open its modifyer panel, only changes the on/off state.

I guess I should write about these tools in the Autodesk forums :). It’s just that there I don’t think anyone would look at them seriously
