Lightlister

Lightlister Script

its based on the Lightlister that ships with vray which is based on the original that came with max.

Additions I made are.
– added support for corona lights, corona material and corona light material
– added tooltips to some parameters
– ability to edit ies files on vray, photometric and corona lights
– wider interface

tested on : 3DMax 2015 – 2022

Version:3.06

History:

v3.06 :
add: Supports for corona3 physical material
fix: on Corona Lights. There were several issues, Some parameters were not being created and then when changing the shape type it would crash the script
add: for corona material and corona physical material now we can control enable/disable of the self illumination texture and the amount of it.

v3.05 :
fix: It was crashing with the newest corona render (3+) as the corona material is now named CoronaLegacyMtl
fix: there was a crash when trying to add or change a texture for the corona material or coronaLight material and the user canceled the process of selecting an image
fix: for lightmaterials if it has a texture it wasn’t been shown

v3.04 :
fix: For some strange reason on some files with corona it was crashing when creating the dialogs, the problem was the method (units.formatValue) which i was using it on the tooltips for some parameters.
fix: Added some checks for certain parameters on corona lights
fix: updated the ranges for the segments on corona lights, it was from 0 -> 100000 which should be 3 -> 128. on certain systems it could cause a crash

v3.03 :
fix: there has been a bug in the function filenameFromPath for a long long time, I thought it had been fixed but not, so i use a custom function for it. that was causing a crash when getting the ies file when the file was missing.

v3.02 :
fix:    crash when deleting a corona light
add:    clicking on the material button now shows an option to select or edit the material

v3.01 :
add: support for coronal materials and corona light materials

v3.00 : initial release:
add:    support for corona lights
add:    tool-tips for the light name as sometimes they have a long name, you need to hover the mouse over the on checkbox as the textedit control does not has tooltips.
add:    tool-tips for some other elements
add:    edit ies files on corona , vray ies lights and max photometric

to install just copy the script to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2016\scripts\Startup.
