I searched for quite a while before posting, apologies if this is in here somewhere. I want to get my lights to rotate with the main camera when I move it, like the default poser 7 light set. I have purchased lights that I want to move as I move the camera.
thanks

Select a light
Open the properties palette
Change it to be a spotlight
Set Parent button now becomes available.
Set parent --> Main Camera
Set the light type back to what you had it originally.
Repeat for the other lights.
If you have the Poser Tool Box this is available as a one click button the the Light Tools section.

I do this all the time! Ockham has a free python script called LightPanel.py; that will just parent all the lights, of any type, all at once.

thanks for the input Phil, I don't have the Poser Tool Box, may one day - did purchase WW2 though, great work!!!
Anyway, can I do this with infinite lights?

searched for this script in the free stuff, but could not find it-is it here somewhere?
thanks

Yes, you can do this with any light type. The point to note is that you need to set it to be a spotlight to enable the "Set Parent" button. Then once set you can set the light back to any type you like.
