Many times as i work i have a lot of materials on my scenes and its terrible to float over every triangel node to see its name
Can you program nodes like when i select material with material picker i want that node to become red or any other coloryou can choose
OMG

I was just thinking of that like yesterday, the totally same thing
"Flash function"? What do you guys mean? There was no flash function planned or have I missed something? We were planning chromatic aberration, which is a lens effect, but had to skip that one as needed more work than anticipated. But nobody said some thing about a flash function. *scratchingmyhead*pedrofelipe wrote:Hi there, thanks for this great release! any news on when are we going to test that flash function?

Yup, that's what they do. And yes you are right, it's not the fully ray traced caustic you were thinking of. But at least that little trick allows the archviz people to have sun light AND reflections and it looks rightElvissuperstar007 wrote:you reduce the opacity of the glass?

Radiant showed us a couple of months ago a rendering with a 'flash light system', was a render of a watch. I'm sure he can remember

For the full thing you have to wait for a different render kernel as stated many times before, but I guess you know that.

That's a real shame. That is a very good, innovative and super useful feature.abstrax wrote:pedrofelipe wrote: Ah I see. You mean this thread http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... f=5&t=3786 ?
I'm sorry, didn't know that. I guess this has to wait then. Sorry.

This is no bug. You are just mixing two kinds of transparency: One based on the physical parameters of glass (incl. refraction and reflections) and one based on opacity. The first one doesn't let the sun through, but the second does. The first one takes care of reflections, but the second does not. By mixing both you get both effects: Sun and reflections. Obviously not in the full strength, but by tweaking the parameters it is very hard to see, that you are cheatingElvissuperstar007 wrote:I think no need to fix this bug! let it remain until the new engineabstrax wrote:Yup, that's what they do.
