Light manager?

[Steve.M]

Hello,

Is there a "Light manager" to control all lights (of the same type)?
Example. I have 30 point lights and I want to be able to change the color of all lights without having to select each light individually.

I'm not aware of any, but then I've never had more than 4 or 5 lights in a scene, and I rarely need to change one of the parameters in all of them at the same time.

Not exactly.
What I'm aware of:
1. Free, shipped with Poser: scripts-partners-Dimension3D-XLC. You will get the list of lights with edit options, but not mass edit.
3. Paid. Dimension3D scripts with mass edit options. You still have to select desired lights in a list. XS - eXtended Shader manager - have it, works. Or XO - eXtended Object manager - has mass edit according to documentation. Don't have it. Dimension 3D

Or XO - eXtended Object manager - has mass edit according to documentation. Don't have it.

Just got it. Does the job.
Many thanks.

I did origianlly set up the lights with the "Master"(learning) controls. Works OK for "Intensity", but not for color (R/G/B).

Thanks! Never think to control the lights this way. This + Parmatic (Parmatic - Bagginsbill) can be used to produce easily manipulated preset render environments.

Thanks for the link. Have downloaded, will have a play with it tomorrow when I have more time.
