Hi,
it would be nice, to have an option for excluding emitters from multilight.
I´m just working on a synthisizer model with a lot of leds. there is no need to change those emitters by multiligh.
I´m using just 4 plain-emitters for lighting which need multiligh-control..

All the best,
Andre

What kind of app do you use?

Just attach all of leds to one mesh.

..thats the problem
...over 50 leds, build into swiches.

those switches are instance-objects and it would be not a small thing, to "melt" all insances into objects and select the required meshes..

it would be nice, to have some kind of rendertag for the led-object, that just excludes the emitter (and its instances, o.c.) from multiligh..

On plug-in basis please. Cinema4d's EmitterTag for example. Just place a checkbox in it and that's it.


Btw: I would like the c4d-Emittertag to be just as functional as the Emitter section in Maxwell's Standalone Material Editor. With all the lamp presets and so on... but that's another and different wish I guess.
