Here is the current model of the crx scene SCENE ZONE---VIEW | | ZONE VIEW ZONE DCS---LMODEL DCS crx_node--MATRIX--DCS--DCS--DCS LMODEL LIGHT | LIGHT Thats pretty much all of interest - the crx_node in the DCS tree is either an INSTANCE of a LIGHT. Lights no longer contain directional information, they are embedded in a DCS node from which they inherit a matrix. Thus both INSTANCEs and LIGHTs have a DCS pointer embedded, which simply points back to the DCS node which contains them, allowing the user to get a hook back into the tree.
