Lighting for VUE elements in MAX?

[DerLandvogt]

Hi there
I will try to ask my question in english, to get more international viewers to this great community.

How can I adjust the light in MAX for VUE plants?
I used some painted ecosys.plants in an existing MAX scene. In this file, I allready used some directlights to fake GI. These lights are adjusted for the whole environment.
If I now use the VUE plants, I have to get rid of the new VUE-scene-light, otherwise it lits up the whole environment, which is not needed/wanted. But it seems to me that the VUEplants doesn´t work well with MAX directlight. Even if I use very low values for the lights, so that the environment starts to get black, the VUEplants used to burn off.
Does anyone now how to solve this problem?

By the way: it is a pity, that VUE doesn´t work with the scanlineRenderer. MR took >20times more to render and if I unhide all the geometry (Grass/Trees ....) MR used to crash.

Thanks a lot for any help
Kind regards
Hilmar

PS: ist es nun gewollt in englisch zu schreiben, oder bleiben wir "unter uns"?

AHA!
Ok, regarding the lights i´ve found the solution.

You could keep the MAXlights. Just exclude the ecoProxies PLUS the VueScene!
It seems to be that the VueScene is the important geometry to exclude.
Do the same for the VUEatmo. Just include this time all the proxies PLUS the VUE Scene.

Now all the MAXlights will lit the MaxGeometry and the VUE-Atmosphere will only lit the VUEplants.
Good to know.
Only one Problem is left: MR rendertimes

Hay Hilmar ,sorry a cant help you with Vue problems, but if you want to write further question in english , why not its good exercise for all of us, and perhaps indeed it could help to make that community more international, but anyway sometimes its good to speak our own language.

In diesem Sinne Englisch ist keine Teufelszeug und wenn man darauf Lust hat ist auch dieser Kommentar oder Frage gerne gesehen.
