Finally got round to something people had been bugging me about for ages... textured emitters

tnx Ono
will be in 0.9?

greetz,
jur

great!!

we are looking forward for the next release!!

greets from sunny Italy!

Yay, great
not far to volume emitters, right?

Thank you so much!

volume emitters are quite different, and a lot more difficult

wohoo - thanks a bunch for that ono!
how is it handled? as a material(blendable?) or as a light?

omg- textured volume emmterers would mean realistic FIRE!!!!!!!!!

Great news!

Ps. Now when you get textured lights you instantly start talking about something new - volume lights. Come on... this isn't very fair against Ono

Great Ono.

Can't wait to try it out.

It's handled as an additional texture option for meshlights.

At some point in the future I may do a big re-architect to make emitter materials, but not yet

very cool,
does this mean you could put a big sky (or whatever) background image on a plane and make it an emitter?

would that be so much differrent from a JPG-converted .exr?

-that's an other request, btw: can we use .exr for those emitters?

I can't seem to get those exr's to work. not sure if it is because I use sketchup to indigo or? but they always come out all stretched out looking.

seems you'd have more control this way.

Not sure if this would be useful.. most exrs are spherical or lat/long env maps
