Title: C4D Lights Color vs Corona Lights Color
Post by: mrittman on 2018-01-04, 06:43:22

Just wondering if you guys would be able to set up Corona Lights like they're set up as a standard C4D Light? I was trying to set up some XPresso, and I'm not able to create User Data with the Color Chooser and map it to the color of a Corona Light. I have attached two screenshots to show the difference in the lights. It appears that the Color of a C4D Light is mapped to a checkbox and not the color chooser.

If you select the Use Temperature option on a C4D Light, it automatically adjusts the color of the light as well. With a Corona Light, it appears to act more like a radio button (choosing one or the other).

One other small thing... maybe change Intensity to a percentage unit, rather than a Real.

I think these changes would help people already familiar with the way standard C4D Lights work. Just some things to consider :P

Thanks again for all your hard work guys!
Matt

To be perfectly frank I'd really dislike the lighting units to be in percentages. Thats a very arbitrary number to begin with so its hard(er) to do "realistic" values with it.

Maybe add it as an option though? I wonder how that would work though :)

Ahhh that makes sense leaving the light units the way they are. I still think the color issue should be addressed however :D
