With this useful and funny script, you can isolate in a ListBox, the category object in Geometry, Shape, Light, Helper, Camera and Space Warp in the viewport.  We can select, rename and count the items in the scene.  Useful in many work situation.

"This utility allows you to define groups of lights - for easy management. You can then turn all the lights in the group On/Off and Hide/Unhide them. It is useful for task such as having the same scene with day/night light schemes, or when you have to dead with an important amount of lights.

This script is an update of Light Grouper, you can find on scriptspot. It now supports vrayShadows, and Vrayshadowmaps"

I have modified the amazing script HDR dome light from Chris Subagio and now it works in Max 2009;
also, I have added some new features, and now it works OK if you link it to a moving object.

It uses Spot lights with Shadow Map, so it´s very fast, about 7 seconds the renders I have attached
in a Quad Q6600 2´4Ghz.

But it has a little problem: if there are many dome lights in the same scene linked to many moving
objects, the global illumination has changes along the time, with brighter and darker frames.

This is not always, only sometimes.

Select your objects and lights, choose I/E ops and check "Transfer..."
(if you like) to move existing obj(s) into the new I/E List.
Works on all geometry + renderable shapes (as original I/E feature designed).
