LightUp v1.7 is out
-
Really focussed on handling of large models for v1.7 - we're seeing huge performance increases on large models.
- Significantly better at handling large models. Both in terms of lighting times which is improved but also Tourtool which is 5x faster.
- 1-click light source placement (Alt/Apple + Left mouse click with Query Tool)
- Interactive aiming of multiple light sources (Ctrl/Alt + Left mouse button with Query Tool)
- Canceling in progress lighting
- Stability improvements and bug fixes
- IES lights look in a "Lights" folder relative to your .skp file making moving files to other computers easier.
- Honoring "Hide" for individual faces
- Stop/start animation controls
- Option to use or ignore current Selection in lighting
- Fix for FBX exporter not handling some hierarchies correctly
- Fix for weird magnifying reflections
- Many fixes to IBL calculations
- Light bleeding problems fixed in many cases.
- IES Type B light support (stadium/sports lighting)
- Saves last Capture dialog state so as to not keeping popping it up each time Tourtool is used
- Compressed texture support on graphics cards that support it
There's a free 30 day demo to download from the
website http://www.light-up.co.uk -

excellent i'll be sure to check it out!

Great news Adam.
-
Sweet.
Must check it out. -
Yeah, I should also plunge into it finally. I may even have a project where I will need it (hopefully have I mean).
Update: Adam, could you please, update your site? It still says v. 1.6 is out (what if I want to write a few lines in TDC? Where do I link to?)
-
Yup, thanks James!

I've been slightly reluctant with getting a Lightup licence. I don't know if and how useful it will be in my work flow. How and what do you guys use it for? Is there a daylight analysis tool (which will be very useful for Architects)?
