[jackietsteh]

Hi i have a lot of vrayies light which i copy as instance and apply same ies file, but when i apply $.ies_file="", it remove all the ies file in the scene, may i know how can i remove just 1 ies file with maxscript?

Regards,

Jackie

I do not think you can do this ... you should only makeunique the VrayLight and delete the IES file.  This however, lose the light property Instance...

Hello,

 I do not have vray currently installed to test it but the following script should work (it works with Target Spot light):

for obj in selection do obj.baseobject = copy obj.baseobject --select all the lights that you want to make unique before executing this line of script

Enjoy,

i don't have vray on my machine so i can't test it...

if VRayLight is a class you can:

(getclassinstances VRayLight).ies_file = ""

if *.ies_file is a property only VRayLight light you can:

for light in Lights where isproperty light #ies_file do light.ies_file = ""
