Oh, i have a question: how rescaling of corona lights affects on distribution of light and intensity?

And will you make a spotlight?

Ondra, thank you for everything you are making!
Well, I'm very much waiting for physically correct units of luminous intensity like kandelas and lumens!
Hope, you will have time in the nearest future to make it!

nicely done... :) I have a question, is caustic sampling planned for corona. Or will it stay as is, so that if i want caustics then i have to use BDPT?

 Thanks ...the update is fast ..i'm wondering if you plan to add the mesh lights also?

just use geometry with corona mtl ;)

Yes Ondra, but with Meshlight we have more options ;-)

I wont add mesh to coronaLight, but rather CoronaLight options to CoronaMtl

brilliant stuff ondra, will the circular disc light have a beam angle? if not, please add!?!?!

Title: Re: Cylinder/disk lights
Post by: Ondra on 2013-09-06, 20:43:42

I think directionality should work

Oh ...you'r absolutely right ... i feel so stupid now but i thought this option is just to get the self illuminaton effect not as a real emitter (like vray) ...anyway this is better ...thanks
