✨🎬 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙏𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤: "𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙋𝙧𝙤" 💡🔧

Hello VFX & Animation Professionals! 👋

I'm excited to introduce a powerful addition to your Maya toolkit—LightManagerPro! 🌟

Managing lighting in complex scenes can be challenging and time-consuming. LightManagerPro streamlines this process by providing advanced lighting management features, allowing you to organize, optimize, and control multiple lights efficiently, ensuring your scenes are perfectly lit with minimal effort.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙋𝙧𝙤 💡🔧 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙨:

Light Organization: Easily categorize and organize multiple lights within your scene for better management.
Optimization Tools: Automatically optimize light settings to enhance performance without sacrificing quality.
Batch Control: Adjust multiple lights simultaneously, saving valuable time on repetitive tasks.
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive UI designed to simplify lighting management, making it accessible for artists of all levels.

# Usage example:
# Select lights and run:
# lightManagerPro(lights=['directionalLight1', 'pointLight1'], optimize=True, categorize=True, batch_update=True)
