3ds Max script that aligns a Free Spot light precisely with a camera, useful for projector lights in place of camera mapping.

What LightMatcher does

LightMatcher by Martin Breidt aligns a Free Spot light so it matches a camera exactly. Projector lights then become a practical stand-in for camera mapping, because the projection matches what the camera sees.

Version 1.2.1 is the current release and fixes bugs from earlier builds. It is a free script for 3ds Max. Artists projecting photographs or plates onto scene geometry, or cutting a spotlight to a camera view, can skip the tedious step of aligning the two by eye.

Key features

  • Aligns a Free Spot light precisely to a camera
  • Suited to projector lights replacing camera mapping
  • Version 1.2.1 with earlier bug fixes
  • Free script for 3ds Max
