Now that we have hopefully demonstrated both the power and flexibility of the…render elements workflow, we're going to spend a little time demonstrating to…you the power of a new-to-V-Ray-2.0 render element called VRayLightSelect.…This particular element can add a lot of flexibility to the lighting of a shot…without the need for any re-rendering in our 3D application.…Again, we need to work in 3ds Max's Render Setup dialog, so let's go up and…click on the icon on the Main toolbar, come across to the Render Elements,…tab and you can see we still have all of the elements from our previous…exercise listed in here.…
Let's just left-mouse click to select our first one, hold down the Shift key,…select our final element, and now we can just use the Delete functionality.…Then we need to come to the Add button and just come down in our list to our…VRayLightSelect Element, select one, click OK, and we need to add three of these in here.…So let's just run through this very quickly.…You can actually double-click in there, just to add that final one.…
