3ds max lighting help

Assuming some of you out there know 3ds max… If I have a large amount of omnilights, and I need to change their intensities all at the same time (and I need to change them many times for testing), is there an easier way than selecting each individual light? I’ve heard of using a “light sister” to simultaneously change all lights in a group, but I have no idea how.

It’s in Tools / light lister

Alternatively, you can do it in code, if you know any Maxscript.
(with the lights you want to affect selected)

newVal =1 For i in selection do (i.multiplier =newVal)

Where newVal is the set to the mulitplier you want to apply to the omni lights.

The light lister is probably your best bet :slight_smile:

Thanks! Light lister worked perfectly. Note to self: Don’t render 27 lights and transparent materials at once. I’ll be asleep by my computer.
