Title: Lightmaps Suggestion for Jesse
Post by: lenord on September 30, 2011, 04:28:32 PM
I hesitate to make any suggestions for changes to MB3D because I know you plate is full Jesse and what the hell right do I have request anything. There is one thing I think would be handy but maybe it's just me because I have created so many Maps I now have 2 folders full. A way to select the Folder you want to use for Maps without having to change the InI destination Folder, Like the Lights saving and retrival folder selictions at the bottom of the lights panel.

Another "idea"; the intensity of lightmaps is not regolable, they only and always act at full intensity, resulting in too "bright" images in most cases... Can you give a look at this? :) thanks :angel1:

The problem would be that the ini-folder is not stored in a m3p or m3i file, so you might not get the right map on loading...

But i culd see if i free some bits so i can extend the range of maps to above 255, if that helps?

Yes, i already had the idea to put the light amount from the positional light as a global value for all lights, a little space problem maybe since someone wanted to decrease the size of the lightpanel (or does it scaleable).
But its on the list.

Increasing the #s availble in a single folder would be Ideal, what I was thinking was like the Saved Lights and and BG Folder search option, the ability to load them out of any Folder. The Ini idea is just a work around I use to get to my second Map Folder while working an image. Like I said, no pressure no problem it can be worked around. The intensity thing is a good idea, havent had any problems with intensity using them as lights. As lights many times I even use the same one twice with exact settings to intensify the light but on Use as Difuse color intensity would be highly useful.
