Ok, My Arealight now is called Custom Light..
Why? because now you are able to change the light source :)
--------
What's comming next?
Dropdown list change the Light Widget.
Spot lights and Projector Support.
Better ColorPick selector
--------
Infinite light doesn't support falloff, so internaly is selected nofalloff and the falloff dropdown list doesn't has any effect.
** Thanks to all BetaTesters that help me on this :)
Regards!
Btw, just drag n' drop ;) |

Hi great
Please do not be SAD....
but we must expect that the Roman / Caligari has to speak.
will be good NEWS if it was:
The Caligari corp became more strong in 3D than Microsoft
UNFORTUNATELY in nowadays the money and ambition speaks high ....
Monopoly or “Monopólio” is BAD...
SO We await the answers and then look calm.
By the way, Nice Idea you have!!! I make tests and very good
Just I do not know why in painel control not show the controls...only when you load,after that dissapears...
best all :) |

Sorry Adriani for the delay.
Im feeling a bit better.. At this point im a funny cow. so i guess in a few days i'll be Sportacus again :p
About your issue with the light panel, i have no problems.
if you has vray render settings check your light panel is outside the screen so you need to minimize other windows to see the light settings again.
Hope that helps.

Good to see you back Prodgy even in bovine form...:D
Two cows in a field. One says to the other "So, what do you think of this Mad Cow's disease then?
To which the other cow replies "What are you asking me for...I'm a duck!"
Works better in person...in the pub...after a few drinks....:p |

Thanks for this, it pretty much cures all the my annoyances with the default lights.:)
This may be OT, but is there any way to customize the interface to move the vray settings to another tab in the stack? The way they shove other settings out of the way is my great pet-peeve with workspace. |

Flavio!
The problem this lights are for Workspace Only, i don't know how they work in modelside.
I created this one for the poor UI over the existent lights over workspace.
Model side lights are cool and you have all you need on the existent lights :) |

I downloaded the latest All-In-One Light and cannot create a light. Can someone please explain how? I can see the controls and I can select everything but no light is being created in the scene. What am I missing?
Edit: I can now create lights but only in a NEW scene. I was trying to add to an existing scene and could not. |

This last one Version 1.21 has a blank icon. Version 1.2 had a colorful icon. Projector light is now missing. Did it work in 1.2? |

This looks to be cool Augusto. Too bad I don't really use the workspace view too much since I don't have Vray.

Here is the Custom Projector.. The same as Custom Lights..
I have another version with all these lights on one.. but the Spotlight widget is showed and for arealights that is a huge problem..
So i divide this on 2 parts..
Custom Lights contains Local, Infinite and Arealights + Color Picker etc..
And This..
11377
Custom Projector, contain Spot and Projector settings..
This custom Projector fix how is showed default projectors in Realtime compared how it's rendered on Vray.
Custom Shape is for Realtime only (by the moment :D) |

How about loading a video file into your projector and letting us know if that works ok? I like your projector, might be able to project textures onto things for an interesting effect of changing textures dependent on location of character. For example, have 8 projectors, 4 projecting north, and 4 west.
Then have a dancer in a position north , and move through the beams of the different projectors, and thus a disco type effect projected onto them. |

How about ....
If you were to visit the Meeting Place in shared space. You would find a camera acting as input for a big screen tv. This is texture based.
For a texture in the projector, you can also try setting up images rather than an avi on projector light. Scripting can cause the image to change on the projector light in realtime!
I also seem to remember reading/reviewing SDK reference and ability to pump an avi into a stream and figure out where the frames were. It then becomes a matter of slicing and dicing the stream to work as a texture.
Lots of potential if you are willing to investigate and explore. |

Sorry if these are dumb questions but how do you get shadows displaying using these tools? I know there is a tick box but it has no effect as far as I can tell. I'm trying to see shadow in the realtime display - is this for VRay only? Messing around with this last night I simply could not get any shadows at all regardless of settings and light type.
Edit: just a thought, is there a problem with running this in 7.6 rather than 7.5? |
