This is a script I created to automatically setup your Irradiance Map for V-Ray. Basically you select what camera you want to render from, select what frame range, the path where you want your Irradience Maps to Generate to and the information automatically goes into your Irradiance settings. It will even create the file for you.

This is useful for companies that send many animations via network rendering by saving time in setting up your irradiances.

Unfortunately the company I work for does not allow custom scripts because our IT manager doesn't trust scripts that aren't created by autodesk... So I thought I'd just share with the world. Feel free to modify it at your own risk.

if you have any questions please contact me at Teriander@gmail.com
