Arranging Lights in Lightmix

[CharlyRT]

Thank u so much Frood this is what I was looking out for!!!!!
Its working beautifully in Corona, but....
I have tested on Vray and its giving me an error.

Sorry, that's up to some vray user to fix. Looks like (some?) vray render elements have no "name" property. I have no license any more and cannot solve this right now. Possible solution would be a fallback to the class name as it is done in the collect section above and to test for the name property every time.


Good Luck

Thanks a lot, Ill try by myself, if not Ill try in the forum.
Thanks again i really use this more from Corona because of all the Lightmix render elements that needs to be included.

Did not change category, so it's still to be found at category "RTstudio" as "Render Elements Organizer".

Thanks for this Frood, it works nicely.
However when I restart 3ds Max the script isn't found.
I checked the folder 'C:\Users\*myUserName*\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2023 - 64bit\ENU\usermacros' and I can see the file 'RTstudio-RenderElementsOrganizer.mcr' in there so I don't understand what's wrong.

Thats strange Tom, I didnt have any issues, at all
Have you tried, delete it from User macros and drag again to viewport to intall it again?

[Tom]

Yes this is what I did.

Maybe I have this problem as before installing the latest version of the script, I've installed the first one and had already created a button for it. Since then, I've deleted this button and recreated it for the new version, but I still have this error.
Does somebody know how to fix this?

Can you please try this one?

Yes this is what I did.

There should be no need to d&d it, if you already have the file in your "usermacros" directory. If you have that directory configured in "Customize -> Configure User and System paths -> Additional Macros", it will be evaluated at 3ds max startup. So just delete the old button, close max (by default, UI is saved when closing max), start it up and go to "Customize User Interface" -> "Toolbars" to add the icon to some toolbar.


Good Luck
