Inspired by Marc Lorenz’ nice work to add support for VRay lights in the 3D Studio Light Lister:

nice, I was just trying to find your original post to ask if it had been updated!

Great . I was just wondering if there was an update. One other thing is the standard Vray light needs some minor tweaks if you get the time:

• -Add a drop down for the “Units”
  -Add “Affect Diffuse”
  -Add “Affect Specular”
  -Remove the “Smooth surface shadows” (I don’t think it’s in there anymore)

Thanks, David

I’ll take a look at those…

Ok, I’ve updated the download as per some requests.

- Dropped “Smooth Shadows”
- Added “Affect Diffuse”
- Added “Affect Specular”

The units thing I’ll have to spend some more time on. Vlado has something special going on when you change the units type in the VRay Light. It doesn’t just change a single internally stored value. It does a couple different operations and changes more than one value (including some calculation on the multiplier value). I’ll look more into it, but I’m not guaranteeing anything.

Very nice.

Thanks alot!!

good update there

Very much appreciated. I thought the Units setting would be tough because of some behind the scenes calcs that are going on. Really cool update though. Nice work.

Thanks, very useful.

Dan

Just a quick question relating to the sun (not on 1.5 yet), does max still quit out suddenly when you add 2 of them into a scene?

No, this has been corrected !

Best regards,

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Thank you =^^=

Thank you =^^=
Thank you =^^=
Have a Nice Day

***UPDATE***

I have replaced the file with a new one that includes support for the VRay Light Units type!!

Enjoy!

nice! you rock

thanx

Thanks for all of your hard work updating this again. Scripts like this and many others need to be put on chaossquid as soon as it’s up and running so you guys can start to get some “credit” for everyone downloading these things. You deserve to benefit from them other than just a simple thanks.

Thanks.
