Development Rendering

This is in concert with what darthviper107 posted in the forums:

I’d like LightActors to have a consistent properties tab for Parametric Light Shafts that do no require Blueprint hookup. I am aware that there are some Blueprint features to register lighting associations with lights, but I like more control put inside the LightActorProperties.

I also want to have the option to turn the Light Shaft on/off via Kismet (Blueprint) and respond to light flickering textures (next FEATURE REQUEST

  • Light Shaft – True\False
  • Intensity
  • Color (I’d like it to default to the lights color, but having a color ship option to change it is very helpful.)
  • Beam Shape: Rect, Circular, Custom (Custom Mesh)
  • Origin (Defaults to light’s local XYZ)
  • Offset (Local XYZ)
  • Length (UU)
  • Size – Start (XY)
  • Size – End (XY)
  • Mapping (What type of UV mapping it uses.)
  • Material
  • Has Lens Flare – True\False
  • Lens Flare Target
  • Has Bokeh – True\False
  • Bokeh target

Hi Alexander. Checked your links out. I had seen them before but wasn’t sure how to use them in Blueprints. Got a beautiful Bloom based Light Shaft! Thanks! :slight_smile:
