Title: CoronaShadow not showing in Light Lister
Post by: ubergaga on 2014-03-26, 15:44:12

Hi ,

I've noticed the corona shadow map option is not showing up in the light lister dropdown menu. This is very handy if you want to switch shadow maps quickly and have a lot of lights in your scene.

Could you implement this in the next update?

Thanks,

Gabriel

this is weird, I'll have to ask autodesk about it.

I got a reply from autodesk.
Basically the light lister is a script that is old, not maintained, and outdated. The shadow types are hardcoded in.

It could be modified to accomodate Corona shadows. There are some instructions on how to do it in the file (it is a macroscript named Macro_LightList.mcr), but such modifications would collide with modifications others maybe did for other renderers.

So if anyone is willing to take up the challenge, he can modify the script. Otherwise I choose not to battle outdated unmaintained Autodesk technology, sorry.
