FUMEFX CUSTOM LIGHTS

Last days i’ve been making this plugin that makes FumeFx lights. When created they have:





Shadows enabled
Raytraced Shadows
Atmosphere Shadows enabled
“FFX Omni”

This creates a light with the above settings and also adds it to all FumeFX containers in the scene.*

“FFX Omni (sel)”

This creates a light with the above settings and also adds it to the selected FumeFX containers.*

*FumeFX container names don't matter. The lights will identify them.

I will post the plugin soon.

I gave the plugin to 2 friends, and they said it'd be cool that the user set the default color of the light and shadow type, so, always they create a light it will have their custom settings.
I'm working on that right now :)

pretty cool those tools.

just one thing concerning the omnis. fume is always doing shadow maps as much as I understand the technique. not sure if this works well with omnis as it's a spherical projection which is hard to achieve and becomes lower res the further the voxel is from the light.
