I really didn't know of another way to title this.

Is there a way to have multiple lighs in Poser to act as one? Such as instancing them.

Example: In Max if you create a light and instance it. All you have to do is change the parameter of one light and it will affect all the others identically.

Wondering if there was a way of doing this in Poser.

You could certainly try adding some ERC to make the channels of one light control the corresponding channels of the others.

Another choice is to use ockham's LightPanel script to make changes to all the lights at once.

Poser 8 has this built in. Use the Dependant Parameters Editor to link the lights as shown on page 476 of the manual.

I've been on this forum for quite a few years now and rarely have I ever been given such an elegant and direct solution to a problem.

Thank you dadt. It worked like a charm.

Label this one solved.
:biggrin:
