FumeFX: Custom Lights Plugin

#1

FUMEFX CUSTOM LIGHTS

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

[ul]
[li]Shadows enabled[/li][li]Raytraced Shadows[/li][li]Atmosphere Shadows enabled[/li][/ul]“FFX Omni”

 This creates a light with the above settings and also adds it to all FumeFX containers in the scene.*
 
 [b]“FFX Omni (sel)”[/b]
 
 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.

Interesting :slight_smile: but why only omnis? what about target/free spots?

Thats a pretty nice tool! Good job!

Haha, cool :wink:

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.

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.
