V-Ray Wish Item: Save Pre-Set Light to Light Type Drop-down Menu

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Requests

Hi Guys

Im a bit sick of always having to go

Create Panel > Lights > V-Ray > VRayLight > Type > Dome > Adaptive Dome ON > Material Editor > VRay Maps> VRayHDRI > Load the Hdr > ColorSpace = None…and then drag and drop the map into the map slot of the dome.

Can we make a light and save everything about it to a preset ?

Maybe we can access our presets from a menu ?

Its just an idea - hope you like it

OR maybe set al that stuff up, save the max scene, then just merge it is to each new scene, you wish to use it in.. That’s how I would do it.. You could have a whole series of them. Daylight, Dusk etc and the only stuff you would have to tweak, is the rotation of the hdr, to suit the scene you are creating.

I use the dome light button from the V-Ray toolbar. It saves the first 6 clicks. Then, if you click on the texture button in the newly created dome light and select VRayHDRI from there, you will automatically get a browse dialog to select the bitmap file. The projection will automatically be set to spherical. There is no need to change the color space (the defaults are equivalent to “None”).

Best regards,
