Re: Move light power setting from object to property A recuring item on my wish list: Reviving this topic because once again I ran into the problem that only a single light source is allowed for an object. I have a ceiling in an object that has both a lightpanel pointing downward and a lightpanel pointing upward. Both need their own power setting. Actually, for the intended end-product I would need at least four different lightsources. To make it even more complex the complete end-product deforms on a rail. Obviously this is not something that can be solved with grouping objects, the end-product must be a single object that can be added from the catalog. As far as I can determine it's only the user interface that makes multiple light sources in the same object impossible. As the propertyname already implies it's a material property, not a property of the object. But the single power setting is on the Modify Furniture dialog, not the modify material dialog (color/texture). It should be possible to have multiple lightSourceMaterialName# lines in the furniture library properties file since it only tells that a specific material is a lightsource. A first step could be to move the power setting to the material dialog and available if the lightsource material is selected. That is really the place where it belongs. The next development step can add the power setting to more materials. Any chance this is made possible in one of the future versions? (Additionally, each lightsource should have a property setting you can set for the power, not the system default of 50%. That would be nice for the current single lightsource too.) ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
