Ole Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) After a good while in developement I am happy to announce my Light Rig Digital Asset. NOTE: THIS ASSET HAS BEEN CREATED WITH APPRENTICE. DO NOT USE IN COMMERCIAL PROJECTS AS IT IS STILL IN BETA. Main features: - Use any geometry as lightsource - Keyframe all parameters including light source geometry type - Ability to use geometry with changing point count - Use an image to color the lights - Distribute lights according to luminance or alpha values of an image - Use your own light shader if preferred - Depth map and raytraced shadows - Full control over target and light source - Lots of options to control what you see in the viewport - Import your texture from the compositor to enable live editing of the light source texture - Supports animated textures. Enable distribution of lights on an animated texture to get a dynamic setup - Visual feedback includes, but are not limited to: -- Light Geometry -- Light Origin -- Light Target -- Relation between source and target -- Geometry colors relative to the color of the applied texture -- Display source light attributes directly in viewport (Use the attributes Color, lumi, alpha) - Plus much more... Thanks to everyone that tested this thing, and a special thanks to eetu and the kind people in #odforce who helped me out when I got stuck. If you find it useful or have any comments, do not hesitate to contact me or leave a mark in here!

abvfx Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 great rig. Very easy to use. Might want to make the gap smaller between sections, ie the transform light and target, general options. I had to scroll down for a bit did a quick test with it. Very simple options, rendered super fast as expected. Awesome tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
