Luxology has just released their highly anticipated free upgrade to Modo (302) available for download too all existing 301 owners. Featuring an extensive range of improvements, bug fixes and the new developer's SDK.
- feature > Implemented Physical Sky and Physical Sun rendering options. Sun position is based on its time and place channel values (sun position defaults to Luxology world headquarters). A custom luminal function allows sunlight to use solar intensity and color from Physical Sky model when sun position is enabled. The size of solar disc (when viewing the sun itself) is adjustable. Sky haze can be set. A “north” channel is provided to change orientation of physical world in relation
to physical sun. - feature > modo is now location aware. Locate your model’s locations in latitude-longitude and modo will use this plus your timezone/day/time of day for automatic calculations of sun position.
- feature > A new modo File I/O SDK is available to facilitate reading and writing of data to/from modo. Source code samples for loaders and savers are provided for developers.
