Automatic light select element

[RichardBlank]

An option to include all lights or selected lights and put them into separate named light select elements.

That's a good concept. How do you think it should be implemented on the UI-side? To me it sounds more like a script that we can add to the shelf, rather than the render settings. Feel free to share any input you might have on this, it will make it easier for us to make the decision.

There might be hundreds of lights and we only support up to 64 full light select elements. I don't know how to handle this.

Could be like the denoiser element, with a "Generate reneder elements" dropdown.

Ok, will see if we can come up with anything.

At least creating the set and adding the currently selected light(S) to it would be a huge workflow improvement, as currently it's necessary to go into sets and add lights manually.

Yes, this is planned already

I'd love to see this becoming part of the UI for max as well.
