Doesn't do anything, should just be

<phase_function>
                 <uniform/>
</phase_function>

good to know. I rendered a couple of tests to figure out, what it is doing

Can you describe what <precedence> is doing exactly?

...and you got a pm nick...

Have a read of the 'medium' section in the updated documentation i posted in the v0.7 test 1 thread.

one word:
incredible!

The second and third images are wonderful.

Seeing the code snippets reminds me of my old days banging my head against a wall with Lightflow and Virtualight.

(Maybe therapy is called for

) But things have really changed a lot since then - you guys are getting phenominal results for your effort.

As it looks like the Blendigo exporter does not produce the same code as the your shown XML information.

Did you hand write the material???

Did you hand write the material???

He probably did, but also the xml structure has changed since he posted 2 months ago.

I noticed it. i wish to know how to update the code right

Hi Bandar

i noticed that some of the RGB values you entered are different.

Which values do u use? 0.0 till 1.0 or 0 to 255 ?

I do not understand the color space you are using here.

<rgb>
<rgb>0.1 0.5 5</rgb>
</rgb>

0.1 seems to look like 0.0 to 1.0 values. In Blendingo you cannot go over 1.0
ad 5 seems to be beyond the scale of that RGB system anyway ???

So THAT was Bill Gates talking about when he said, "The WOW starts now!"

I have nothing to add to that comment!

<rgb>0.1 0.5 5</rgb> = absorbing at 0.1, 0.5 and 5 meters, I think... Yes, blendigo uses values up to 1...
I had an idea, how to handle even higher values with the preview colour in Blendigo...
But I don't know, if that would be possible with phyton...

zuegs could use more than one preview window for a single colour: If the value is, say, 10 1 0,1, it uses ten colour windows and adds the colur as long, as there is a value beyond 1. So, all the windows would be (have to think reversed) cyan, but the first one also would have a great part magenta and a tiny part yellow... the first one would look like weakly darked blue, and the rest would be fully cyan...

An other way would be, to just clamp the colours, until the spectrum fits...

I didn't really get your first suggestion but it seems very confusing to me to open 10 preview-windows for one colour!

I like the second one though. Thought about that solution myself a few days ago. It's really annoying that you cant see the colour properly when choosing low values... Maybe the display should just show the saturation and the hue of the colour but seet the intensity to 1... This solution would not interfere with the settings of the sliders.

what about a simple color chooser and a numeric "absorption intensity" field which multiplies the rgb values of the choosen color?

sounds nice too^^

That sounds nice at first sight, but I think it is moving too far away from indigo-xml. I like blendigo because it is so close to the resulting xml!
