Hi I usually do light exclusion/inclusion lists by material and user channels. I.e. in a material mapped to the light: Shader Light Properties If (Userfloatchannel_name) < 0.5 Then Light Color = Black
Then create a material that assigns Userfloatchannel_name 1 globally to all objects you need affected by the light. You _can_ "assign" this Userfloatchannel_name directly in object properties, but it's both messy and buggy to deal with. I'd stay with mapping the property if possible. ...Or thereabouts. The idea is good, but I'm not sure if this will work as I can't test right now. Give it a try. 3DS Max method is a lot better, but less flexible (as always).
