Hi guys,

Since there is no integration with octane lights and max standard or modified Vray light lister.
Here is a script to based from RacoonScripts' CamLister script.
It lists the lights in the scene and with 1 click you can select the lights.
Can be used for all lights that has a light property in maxscript.

:Usage
Drag and drop the script. You can find it under the category "Oguz".
Then drag and drop the Lightlister to the toolbar.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
I updated the script to a newer and better state.
Doesn't work well with Vray lights


It's better than nothing.
Hope you find it usefull.
Cheers,

Hi Oquz

I just installed the script, and it works fine :-)

Could it be an idea (don't know if it's possible) to let the sctipt activate the selected light and turn off all other lights?

I figure I could use this for setting up different sun lights in different views -but that's just my need :-)

Thanks
Jorgensen

Thank you Oğuz bey, is a very useful script. Can you do not only light but also the camera? :)

Pressing the right mouse button on the light source in the menu, the camera goes nowhere.. :?

Vanya Thanks for letting me know.
I modified the script badly.

I now did enhance the script. You can download the new version there, in the first post.

Thanks

I think this story is waiting for the continuation of the long =) with a happy ending :D
And yes I've got it all still works with vray light :roll:
Will the future involve the camera ?

This script is derived from a ready script for cameras. I just changed it for lights.
But I may improve it combining it with camera feature as well.

Hi Oguz

Will you consider to modify the script, so it turns on the selected light, and turn all unselected off?

Thanks :-)
