Stripping lamps...

hi

is there any way to strip the lamp information out of .lmp files and convert them to .gsm

I want to create lamps for Maxwell render but I need to replace the bulbs so to speak with the maxwell emitter materials...

anyone got any suggestions?

TIA

As Djordje suggests, you should be able to open them, change the subtype and resave (with a new name). I don't recall trying it with lamps but it works with doors, windows, labels, markers, etc. so I assume it is the same.

There may be problems in the scripts though. Changing the subtype may strip out some parameters and cause errors. If so these would likely only be in the 3D script so if that isn't needed the code could be deleted.

Didn't find the answer?
