This script can be used, to generate a simple Photo Metric Light Setup, works 100% accurate only if there's no Other Area Light in the Scene.This limitation is due to the fact that I am still working onfetching th newly created areaLight-name in a variable.
Rest all works fine I guess, just source the script and it’ll create a setup for you. I’ll try to enhance it with UI and other stuff as and when I get time. Please check if I’ve left anything else.
EDIT: January 22, 2011: Done changes to make it work with scenes with Existing Lights. So everything's perfect now.
EDIT: January 24, 2011: (1) When it creates the light, the “Illuminates by default” option is unchecked, so the light is not active, This is fixed now. (2) It creates a new mia_exposure_simple node each time the button is pressed. It should first check and see if an expsure node already exists on a camera and if so, not create a new one. Fixed. (3) It should have been mia_exposure_photographic node instead of mia_exposure_simple. That's fixed too.
EDIT: January 31, 2011: now this scripts connects mia_exposure_photographic to all cameras in Scene/
