Hi,

Thanks for the great software. Love it.

We always use a lot of xref scenes (houses) in our final exterior scenes. This keeps our main exterior scene small.
In those house scenes we have lights (exterior wall lights etc.). When we build our exterior scene, we xref/scene those "small" houses.
But...all our xref-lights come in the "Rest" layer of Lightmix in the main exterior scene. Is it possible to have those xref lights in separate layers (preferably the layers they use in the source xref scene)?
Or is this a Max problem?

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

This has been requested and reported earlier.
There is currently no way to add the lights from XRef-ed scenes in a LightMix layer other than Rest, unfortunately.
It can only be done by maxscript, which is rather inconvenient and not user-friendly.

We will for sure update you once a good enough solution is implemented.
