MultiLight function?

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
1

Sorry if this has been asked already, I searched but didn’t find anything about it.

Is there a way to adjust lighting after a render like Maxwell’s multilight feature?

Thanks.

Look for the V-Ray multilight script by Guillermo LLaguno here:

Thanks.

Does anyone have any comments about it?

its a very time saving script , i use it alot in tight deadline to quickly adjust lighting & mood of my scenes without having to rerender the hole thing .

Looks like he’s just updated the script.
Does anyone know if Vray or 3dsMax is likely to integrate a feature like this any time soon?
Just wondering whether it’s worth my while buying the script now or waiting for rc3 / 2010 ?

I’m sure, sp3 won’t have that feature. Maybe future vray with super-fast ppt it can be possible :slight_smile: But it would be great to script vray rt to compute needed passes tho :smile:

Does this script work with the newest version of V-Ray?

Yes

It does.

Thank you. I’m purchasing it now. :wink:

Well I purchased the script and played with it for a few minutes and my computer crashed. (Overheating problem not a max issue).

Now I can’t get it to work again. I know zero about MaxScript. Would someone be able to tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I dragged the .mzp into the viewport and then added the G.Tool’s MultiLight button to a toolbar.

When pressed it comes up with this error:
-- No “”+“” function for undefined

and opens the lister and has this:

macroScript MultiLight category: “--G.Tools--” toolTip: “MultiLight”
                (
                global MultiMain

if MultiMain == undefined or not MultiMain.open then
                                (
                                filein (GtoolsPath + “\Gtools_Multilight.mse”)
                                )
                )

I think a uninstall/reinstall of the script might work but I can’t find all the stuff to remove.

Thanks

I think the file locations are specified in the TXT file in the zipfile the plugin is distributed with. There are instructions for manual uninstalling.

12

Yeah they are. I have gone to those locations but there is nothing there. I am stumped.

Copy the file

Gtools_path.ms

in this directory

C:\3dsMax2009\stdplugs\stdscripts

Bye :slight_smile:
