Hi guys! Dark Occlusion plugin is nice thing but it havent one very usefull command (imho). I try to optimize my scene with many lights in it.And i need to hide for example spot light if it is in another room and we cant see it. I can use Dark Occlusion for it and its works , but now if something is behind light it hides too =((((.So i need command to make special object which will be culling by another objects in scene , but this special object dont affect on this objects. Or there is any another ways to do this?

There is a command to do this in the new plugin, it isn't released yet though. I will try to release a stable plugin as soon as possible, but there are a lot of projects I have to work on at the same time, so I can't give an exact date for the release.

For now you can try a workaroud by checking if any objects from the room are visible, if they are then you can show the light. If all the objects in the room are culled then you can hide the light as well.
