If I’ve got a group of objects that I want lit with the same lights, can I reuse the same LightPicker object, or do I need to create a new one for each instance?

Just wondering if reusing it is going to be a false economy

Hi Drumbo,

My understanding is that they are meant to be re-used as much as possible, I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t be that way.

That’s correct. Tho, if you build big environments and use pointlights with falloffs, you will have to generate new lights and new pickers, as one picker can hold only 3 lights.

Note that there are 2 known issues with the LightPickers
1/ On some meshes with multiple subgeometry, once applied viewport may go black with no errors in AIR, model partly rendered in Flashplayer. Removing the picker restore rendering.

2/ nullifying a picker causes errors. Fix is to set for instance m.repeat=true then false again in order to force invalidate.

The first one is complex to reproduce and may take so time to be nailed down, tho good news is that it occurs only on rare occasions. The second issue, will be fixed asap as the bug has been found.
