Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 22 10:18 pm)
Not afaik. You'd have to parent them all to an object first. You could parent 'em all to an invisible primitive and rotate that.
I've never encountered lights you can't parent, though. That's a new one on me.
Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
thanks :)
yeah, those infinity lights.
wasn't sure if i was missing out on a nifty alt-click option.

there's a really good shaderworks light utility at rdna - i think maybe in advanced figure manager - but one of em you can move all the objects in a scene together - just select all the objects you want to move or parent all with a couple of clicks say to the poser grouping tool.
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!
This link has a free python called Light Panel which can be used to parent and rotate light sets. I haven't used it for a long time.
I have no idea if the python works in later versions of Poser, but might be worth a bash.
what i usually do is to load a simple prop (i had created a simple ball or something for that) make it invisible in rendering and group all lights under that prop. You can also have some light to "point to" that prop. Then you can move, rotate or whatsover the prop and all lights move along....
Grouping can easily be done with the hirarhcy editor...

Turn of all apart from the lights to be shown, that leaves you with very little things showing up in your hirarchy editor. Also, if you keep up the practise with grouping, you can fold the master of a group and dont see the childs.... for example, if i put groups of people in my scenes, i group them under a simple prop, so i can move the entire group around. Then fold the simple prop doesnt show me anything further underneath it.

even the clicking to close all the things take me ages or is there a button to do it automatically on the heirachy editor that I have never noticed. It doesn't matter, becasue i use python scripts for all this sort of stuff, parenting, moving things around together, etc and it is really quick and easy. I'm just surprised more people don't do it my way, but then maybe a lot of people have one figure in a scene, dress it up and take a pic.

heirarchy editor is kewl. it lets things parent that don't have a set parent button. :)
or unparent things like sub-figures in the dream home rooms.
can a .lt file hold smartparent info?
or does smartparenting lights only work if you save it with the parent in a cr2?
Thanks!

There is also the Grouping Object feature (see Poser Pro 2012 manual page 229, or Poser 9 manual, page 222)
It's basically an invisible, non-renderable prop that you can use as a parent to objects; but it does a bit more than that. For example, you can set it and its children to be invisible or non-renderable, etc. A small example is given in the manual for how you can use it.
