Camera and Light lister #15

Closed Nicknroll closed 3 years ago

Nicknroll commented 3 years ago

Hi Thanks for adding such important features!

I'd like to ask, maybe you can add some functionality for them in the next release:

  1. For Light Lister add visibility buttons. Also would be nice to have option for spread angle and adding IES map directly from lister.
  2. "Make camera active" button for Camera Lister, or make it automatically when you select camera.

Regards Nick

Glad to hear! Really appreciate your openness to ideas!

Some question: is it possible to pin Lister floating windows, to not hide them automatically?

Also, maybe it is better to optionally hide this parameters? Screenshot_1 Personally i don't use them here, so we can save some space or put other parameters?

NevilArt commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately 'pin floating windows' is not possible in Blender for now.

Yeah im agree with you, I need to change the Lister concept to more optimized and more functionality.

Some ideas for light lister, probably you'll find them reasonable to implement: I guess it would be handy to keep all light sources in a one place, so what if put there world surface and emissive materials? Last one often used for different types of mesh lights for imitation neon light, LED light etc. Usually i have to search for mesh and necessary material just to slightly adjust value or color, so keeping emissive materials together with all scenes light would be convenient as for me!

NevilArt commented 3 years ago

I did some changes. Light lister Light Lister has full control on light now. I`ll work on emitter materials next weekend.

Camera lister For Camera Lister, had to make better one. for now just add 'make active' tool.

Nice, good work! Is this possible to enable/disable lights? For Camera Lister not sure Perspective/Ortho button has a lot of sense, since usually faster to switch by hotkey when you already in camera view. Also I'd recommend to make panels as small as possible.

P.s. Have you considered to make Lister add-on? I have seen a lot of people asking about this, so i guess it could(must) become official preinstalled Blender addon!

NevilArt commented 3 years ago

Blender Lights do not have On/Off but it lights off when is hide. I can put Hide/Unhide button in light Lister.

For make a 'preinstalled Blender add-on' I had to make a perfect tool first. current tool is not looks complete. for now my add-on can help people. whene any of my tools become perfect I will be happy to commit it to blender itself.
