Lighting In A Bottle released! @unity3d #assetStore https://t.co/sXvpVJG8Uh Simple, beautiful light mapping with super fast live feedback!

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@ranjan4701 There are demo scenes that come with it. You can make a new map, select geometry, press '+' on the map, set a light to static, then render.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@ranjan4701 I think a tutorial is a good idea. Until then can you tell me what you are having problems with?

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@Vas_Shu No demo version right now. Out of all my feedback, not one person said it didn't do what they wanted. Send me any questions you might have.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@ID_AA_Carmack My theory is that re-using code means re-using data (formats), even if they are internal.

Raytrace Lightmaps updated with huge UI improvements. Easily bake GI to lightweight textures. @unity3d #assetStore

@c_pruett Maps are saved to dir named from scene file. Follow me and we can go into detail, I plan to refine it from understanding workflow.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett It is asynchronous, you can change/save the Unity scene while the render is going. I would love to hear about your exact workflow.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett Bounces can be set to any number. Scene changes could be split out from the render, although maps are saved when the render stops.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett Rendering can modify the scene by adding attributes and changing the texture objects. I've used Unity's UV unwrapping so far.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett No, but I can add them. Point lights would become spheres, directionals would become a solid angle of an infinite sphere.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett Its focus is ray tracing with area lights. It writes a set of texture2D, .png, and .exr files in a dir named from your scene.

@c_pruett I'm just now getting everything set up after getting the software side squared away. https://t.co/BuiuNHIf4T is a shallow intro.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett If you are up for giving feedback, I could give you a copy of my light mapping tool. It is ready, I'm just working out paperwork.

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@ID_AA_Carmack I saw the light mapping article you re-tweeted - I've been making a live, fully asynchronous solution https://t.co/iLw7qbZOPg

[Shine Spark @ShineSparkio]

@c_pruett I enjoyed your light mapping article. I've been working on a solution that I plan to release very soon. https://t.co/iLw7qbZOPg
