Set Drive Key, with Lighting?
 
Okay, i have 3 lights that I want to dim. So my first thought was to setup a set driven key, but I dont see an option to control the intensity of the lights? Then I thought maybe I could see if I could use the connection editor, and again, the intensity attribute is no where to be found.

Really, i Just want a slider to drag up and down to control the intensity of the lights at the same time, didnt think it would be this hard. Any thoughts would be great , you guys always come through!

You have to select the shapenode there you can find the intensity use the up button

If it's a quick fix i would create a locator and add light attr to it then use set driven keys:beer:

Hey JJ, what you need to do is make sure you check "load shapes" in the set Driven Key window.

Dont mind me guys, just talking to myself;)

whats wrong with key framing the intensity?

Thanks for the reply guys!, I got it figured out, well I figured it would be easier to keyframe one set driven key for multiple lights rather than doing it individually for each light? I just had to check turn shape nodes on and I was good to go.
