          no, that file gets overridden when you kick off a render. There are some helper functions we use to manipulate the xml that we store in the attribute dictionaries of the scene, but none of it is very obvious or easy to use for your own purposes. We are also going to be modifying the way a lot of our stuff works over the next couple versions, so if you were to tap in to our xml and play with it, it might not have a very long lifespan.

            Thanks for the answer, Devin. Is there another V-Ray implementation where I can animate the illumination? Or I have to wait that this feature comes to SU? I also work with Blender. Thanks in advance.

                I was able to do some short progress modifying the skp files from each light separately and reloading through the ruby script. The only thing that it is still missing is the possibility to render the scene from the script. It is possible to do this from the SU API or from the system? Thanks in advance.
