Sorry

Right ill give it a shot and see what happens :) Should be a fun project.

Hehe, understood. I always wear some transfigured, colleague-irritating smile when using the LightMix spinners :) It´s fun for itself.

Good Luck

Id like to be able to select an object (a model of a light) and have max copy another object (an IES light) to the position of each light model if that makes sense? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Just to be sure:

that his render may be slow if a certain amount of lightmix elements were used.

You mean actually "LightSelect" not "LightMix" render elements here, don´t you? I don´t want to be pedantic but this reads as if it makes any sense to have multiple LightMix elements currently and I´m wondering if I missed something. And I´m very skilled in missunderstanding posts at the moment :)


Good Luck

My bad yes thats exactly what i meant. Right ill give it a shot and see what happens :) Should be a fun project. I have a complete supermarket revit model including site to do an overview for with lightmixing. Im actually pretty excited to see how it turns out!

no hard limit, it will just get slower and take more RAM

Ok cool, is it the amount of lights or the amount of render elements that slows it down?
There could be a couple of hundred lights but only maybe 10-15 lightmix groups.
The machine has 128GB of ECC RAM so i dont think ill have a problem but i want to be sure before i tell my boss i can actually do the project!

Thaaaaaanks :)

A Colleague of mine mentioned he had a message pop up saying that his render may be slow if a certain amount of lightmix elements were used.
Is there an actual limit to the amount or is it just however much data your ram can hold?

Thanks

Are you asking why you need anything other than black to dark grey for the diffuse channel?

I like the PG ones although it took me a while to figure them out. To be honest i often use ones from sIBL archive as theyre free and they have alot of decent high res ones
