vray light into vray proxy

[diuvermoya]

Hi, I´m trying to put a Vray Light into a Vray Proxy but it does´nt work, is that even posible? Is there any other way than referencing a scene, more like a Vray proxy.

I´ve attached an image of what I´m trying to do.

 

Thanks in advance!

No, you can't proxy lights or cameras or similar iten, only geometry.

You could create a group and instance that object, You can create an XREF object too or a Container.

The other option would be to use a material workflow i.e. VrayLightMaterial on some geo, then converted to proxy. AFAIK VrayLightMtl can 'emit' light from within a multi-sub material now.
