Script Name : Local Lights v1.4

When I have to render a scene with many tress, little swaying around, GI rendering should take long time. For saving time, I try to think many other trick ways. What tactic should I take? I need a lighting method that can display the light side and the dark side, which makes things stereoscopic. The whole scene will be stereoscopic, if every object looks stereoscopic. Everyone knows a traditionial lighting method 3-Point lighting. Why don't I put 3-Point lighting method to every object, and the lighting only takes effect on each group of trees. That was the reason I started to write the script. There was a small script called Three Light in autodesk maxscript helper. I got much help from that script.

The main objective of this script is to set a local lighting module, so as to lgiht only a group of objects or single object independently in its local system. 

Features of Local Lights

1. A local lighting system. The lighting only affect objects included in its system.
2. Build Key 、Back and Fill lights at a time, and changes each light's parameters in one rollout.
3. Not only lighting each local objects, but also lighting global objects in scene by switching between local and global.
4. Collapse Local Lights system, and convert 3 lights of  Local Lights to primitive lights.

How to use it?

1. Put this file in "Scripts\Startup" under 3DS MAX root folder, then restart it.
2. It is in [Create>Lights>Standard].
