Hi,
I can’t find a way to do so via maxscript
actually I found a way to toggle this mode with a “max command”:
max default lighting toggle
but since I haven’t found a way to know in which mode I currently am I can’t really use it.
So anyone knows?
thanks!
Paul.
This is all I found through the listener, but I couldn’t find out what state I was in via maxscript
actionMan.executeAction -844228238 "7" -- Viewport Lighting and Shadows: Illuminate with Default Lights
actionMan.executeAction -844228238 "6" -- Viewport Lighting and Shadows: Illuminate with Scene Lights
actionMan.executeAction -844228238 "4" -- Viewport Lighting and Shadows: Configure Lighting and Shadows
Thanks a lot Luke, that should really help.
Actually I’m working on a “preview maker” script and some co-workers asked me to add this function since “scene lights” mode can be confusing. As I have to restore parameters after the preview is done it could have been nice to know in which mode the scene is before launching a preview, but that’s not very important.
thanks,
Paul.
I’m trying to do this too and havent found anything on the net so far to find the states.
-- PRE-Render script
lights.enabled=off
#($DefaultFillLight,$DefaultKeyLight).enabled=on
-- POST-Render script
lights.enabled=on
#($DefaultFillLight,$DefaultKeyLight).enabled=off
