Hi Chaos,

Are you planning on making the lights that are added to a Railclone or Forest Pack object appear in the Lightmix element? I noticed that they aren’t.

Thank you.

+1 this would be really handy, although I think they usually come up under ‘rest’ don’t they. Additionally you can’t have them hidden as I think railclone/FP treats them as geo objects.

Hi you are right the VRayLightMix does not detect lights that are scattered with Forest Pack, they all go into Rest.
There is actually a similar thread - LightMix Rest are not save in exr - V-Ray for 3ds Max :: Issues - Chaos Forum
Also there is an improvement request in our system under VMAX-11788.
I will now add your report to the topic and bump it’s priority.
