A few more lit fog options

[td4stage]

How about:

1. When a light is selected, have a drop down box in the oip with the ability to apply different lit fog backgrounds.

and

2. For "Max Density" number of the lit fog background, provide a slider instead of plain number input. Currently adjustments are made in 1/1000ths increments. Seems a little unweildy to me.

Unless there is a good reason for it...which escapes me!

Anybody else?

Pat -

I'd agree w. your first wish. I have a current project that includes both "wash" and "gobo" sources. w. the current approach, either the "wash" beams look right and the "gobo" beams are blown out - or the gobos look right and the others have no beams.

As to your second comment, I really prefer actual numbers. The difference between things working and not is .0001. I don't know that a slider would have shown that. Also, knowing an actual number allows me to try specific settings in multiple drawings - instead of "the slider postion just under the "E" in the text above...

Fair enough. I may be making this up, but don't some data entry points...kind of like the fog density have both a slider and a numeric input. Like a wheel and keypad on a lighting desk!

Some may, but many just have the slider. See, for example the many texture settings when defining things like reflectivity. Just a slider w. no aparent numeric value. Makes copying values from one texture to another a little interseting, sometimes...
