Although it's not addressing all the feature requests so far, over the
weekend I've updated the Addon to work on pre-existing lights which
should provide support for Arnold and VRay. In the tests I've done with
Arnold lights it works fine. i.e. just select an existing light or light
root and

Mind sharing the source code again?

Did you keep the shift modifier key from the original tool as a way to
adjust the distance of the light from the surface
area lights too and adjust their shape.

Julian,
If I had to approach this in the tool SDK I would probably just store the
relative mouse offset that was applied while shift-dragging and add this onto
the input mouse position when not shift-dragging.
That way the spotlight position

Awesome!
Just get ready for the inevitable flood of feature requests! ;-)
Here's one:
When no light is selected, create a new one. When a light is selected,
use that to place the highlight instead of creating a new one.

Hi
On second thought, here's a variation of that idea:
On LMB pressed, place the selected light to create a highlight. On MMB pressed
(or LMB + modifier key)
copy the selected light and use the copy to place the new highlight.
This way, you will never need to query the user for what type of new

That's cool, Julian, thanks!
I wonder why it only works on mental ray lights... I'm using VRay.
After all, it's not possible to create custom lights with the SDK.
VRay/Arnold lights are practically regular lights with an additional
shader attached. Should be working too, no?

Ok, tested it. What you do is create a new light every time the tool is
called.
May I suggest something? It would be better if you allowed selected
lights to be moved instead of creating new ones, keeping the distance
between the light and the surface.
This way, you could also ignore the light

A Perspective Tool to tweak a Camera's perspective without zooming
would also be nice.

I believe the current version of HDRLight Studio has a tool that does this.
You might want to toy with it to see if its interaction model is worth
