AdamB,

I uploaded a video on youtube of a texture baked (including light/shadow) model I made, just to show what can be the benefit of using a photoreal render engine for your project.

I would like to add my WOW! to the discussion. I just opened this thread by accident, having passed it by with the same feeling Susan expressed several week ago, that it would be and "i wish" rather than this.

AdamB - great work! Hope to see something soon!

Yes.. been busy. Making really good progress; I now have it running natively on Mac and PC (so its 3x faster), blending ambient occlusion pass and direct lighting which gives stunning results, focussing on workflow to make it easier to tweak lighting, finding 'n' fixing bugs, testing testing testing.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics / youtube stuff RSN.

Unfortunately not. I'm not happy with it, so you won't be either. To be a really good "fire and forget" tool, it has to handle anything you throw at it sensibly. But its coming on in leaps and bounds - I'm on in fulltime right now - so hang in there. And thanks for the continued interest!

Interest might just be the gross understatement of the year! We're rootin' for you Adam...and waiting to reward your efforts!

So far I've not seen any textures in the models. Does it handle objects with textures as well? Or will it only work for coloured objects? What about transparent objects?

AdamB

Yes, I am planning on supporting textures. However, if it turns out I can't, I won't.

thomthom

Gotcha! It'd still be a good plugin though.
But what about the transparency?

Wow. Just Wow! I honestly thought that this would be something in SU7 but I'm ecstatic to see what you've done. I stumbled upon this thread totally by accident/coincidence and my day has just been made. Dare I say week? Month? Year?

Subscribing to the thread. Looking forward to updates. Any kind of (even rough guesstimate) ETA on release?

This plugin is for ACTUAL lighting lol. You know, things that light up.
Not a bad idea, but that's not what he is trying to achieve.

I've been watching this post for some time now and hoping for this gem of a script to be released. Can we see a beta? I promise not to complain if there are any bugs.
Please oh please, please please?
