Easy Multiple Light Control

Hey all,
I have a scene with a fair number of lights. The room for example has a series of eight spot lights in the ceiling shining down to fill the room.
Maybe I'm missing it but is there a way to gang all these lights together so one control can raise or lower the brightness? Right now I have to select each light individually and set them all the same. A pain when I want to keep adjusting the light brightness depending on what else is happening in the scene.
Thanks!

Hi,
Select all the lights you want to change (you can place them all in a group if preferred), then "Edit-> Master Light".
That was easy - awesome! Thanks!
deleted - duplicate advice !
Also, if you select all of them, you can simply control all of that stuff with all of them selected, if you want them all to be the same, that is.
Nothing works for me...using alpha version
Alpha version of what, Carrara? If so... Why?
Either way - what do you mean that "nothing works" for you? Lights?
Describe what you're doing and I'll see if I can help you get going

Oh... Alpha version. Using Daz Studio 2025 "Alpha" I bet.
Yeah... "Alpha" means that it's still incomplete software that has not been taken to "Beta" yet, Beta being pre-release unstable version.
The Alpha version of Daz Studio doesn't even have a SDK yet so none of the plugins can be made to work for it yet - so... yeah... Alpha.
In any case... that's Not Carrara
Thanks Headwax!
Mediac needs this thread
you accidently posted in the Carrara forum which is a different software to DAZ Studio
