backface cull for corona lights

[romullus]

Keymaster, could you expose backface cull option in object properties for corona lights? I find it quite frustrating to work with big lights without this feature.

Isn't it easier to just hide lights while having render hidden lights enabled? :)

I'll take a look if it is possible

It's an option, yes, but it takes away some flexibility of my workflow :]

Thanks.

I found that if you set CoronaLight's Display Properties to By Layer and and in Layers properties turn Backface Cull or Display as Box it works very well with CoronaLights. And to be able to see through lights makes life so much easier. It would be even better if it's possible to do it directly via lights Object Properties.

What i do with the lights is to select them and (i have a short cut for this) thurn in to box display.

Can you elaborate on it more? I can't find a way to display CoronaLights as box other than by layer method.

( you need to move your lights form layer 0 to another one, AND must have a keyboard shortcut for display as box) Select your light and use your shorcut to display as box . Thats all
