Hi!
Would it be possible to include the VrayShadows Subdivs parameter for non VRay Lights in the VRay Light Lister?
Great time saver.
Thanks!
Dmitry
Yes, will make a note to do that. Thanks for the pointer!
Best regards,

Vlado,
Could the “store with irradiance” checkbox be added?
It is not impossible… how often do you use it?
Best regards,
Vlado
Quite a lot actually.
I use it mainly on large scenes if I need to speed up the render during testing.
It will also help to visually see what each vraylight is doing in the scene.
I could probably script it quite easy but having it in the VRaylightlister windows would keep it nice and clean.
Ok, will see what can be done about it.
Best regards,
Vlado
I think the whole VRayLightLister could definitely use a facelifting. I really like the idea behind it but there are so many missing parameters, missing comfort functions (turn all lights on/of, selected ones only on/of etc), horrible performance with many lights, etc.
As I said I like the tool and use it daily but I am at a point where I honestly consider writing my own LightLister since the VRayLightLister lacks so much stuff.
I am sure it can be done better; you are welcome to try that 
A tool that you write yourself will almost certainly be more convenient for you than a generic tool. We used the original 3ds Max LightLister as a base, so we’ve inherited all its shortcomings.
Best regards,

Yeah, I know that the self programmed stuff is always better. But I think a “proper” VRayLightLister would be a tremendous addition. I am aware that this propably is more an Autodesk sort of thing, but nonetheless
I find Lele’s VrayLight Monkey very useful (part of Lele’s Vray tools). It already includes the “Store with irradiance map” option, plus just about any other light option you could need. Only applies to Vray lights though
Thanks, I’ll have a look into it. We would need default light support, too since we are using SpotLights regularly…
