Add Vray lights to Vray Fog with Array.

Submitted by edgemaster on Mon, 2016-06-06 13:58

Well I'm getting back into scripting and learning as I go. I still need assistance on getting this to work though. I usually have trouble with getting into the deeper part of scripting for Vray.

I have this so far but I don't know how to get array part to work. I tried to add a picture if this helps. All I want is to add a group of selected VRay lights to the VRayEnvironmentFog list and turn off all lights for now. And I could have this written wrong to start with for all I know.

Vat = getAtmospheric 1

Vat.use_all_lights = true

for obj in (selection as array)
where classOf obj == lights do
(
Vat.lights --what goes here?
)

Hey,

Try this one (for all kind of lights):

Vat = getAtmospheric 1
 
Vat.use_all_lights = true
 
Vat.lights = for obj in selection where SuperClassOf obj == light collect obj

or if you want to add just VRayLights:

Vat = getAtmospheric 1
 
Vat.use_all_lights = true
 
Vat.lights = for obj in selection where ClassOf obj == VRayLight collect obj

Best,
