VRay Light Lister Button in 3DS Max

If you use the VRay renderer with 3DS Max you should use the VRay Light Lister, it's a handy way of controlling your VRay lights from one dialog - it looks like this


It should be under the Tools menu below the standard Light Lister, but if not it's quite easy to add it as a button to a Toolbar:
1. From the top menu select Customize, then 'Customize User Interface'
2. Select the tab 'Toolbars'
3. In the Action list scroll down to VRayLightLister
4. Select and drag VRayLightLister onto an existing toolbar

Below, I've dragged the VRayLightLister button onto an existing toolbar


Easy

VRay Documentation

I've been playing with VRay. It's a rendering engine similar to Mental Ray but which gives better results for interior/exterior renders.



Anyway, the documentation is all online and I wanted to be able to view it offline. I found a program called Teleport Pro which allows downloading of whole websites and fixes the links so they work locally.

After it had finished I had everything on my local PC - all 170MB of it.
