scripted props

Cyprine

Hi !

i have those lamps (inaneglory's) that always get instanciated with lights - i dont want the light, i just want the prop - how do i get rid of the bit of script that produces the light ?

That's either a light parented to the prop or the surface set to emit light - parented lights should be obvious and can be deleted, emissive surfaces in Iray require selecting the surface that glows and setting Emissive colour to black.

this.

my curiousity aimed toward having a *clean* prop - now that i think about it, maybe i should spawn the prop, delete the light & save the *clean* prop as a new asset.

a well thanks for helping my brain wake up !

You shouldn't need to save as a new asset, just save a Scene Subset without the light.

well, i got this big scene with one of those lamp - each time i load it up, i find the associated daz light added to my scene - and even tho i delete it each time before working on the scene & saving it; but on the next load the darn light comes back.

ie prop loaded (with light), deleted light, save (as scene), reload, daz light pops back up.

i figured the prop itself calls the spawning via a script somewhere.

ill try both scene subset & new asset.
