blender dotscene exporter: lamp range problem

sphinkie · Post by **sphinkie** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 6:24 pm

Hi

When I create a point lamp in blender and export it in a dotscene, (using the dotscene exporter) the range of the lamp on the dotscene is always 5000 whatever I set in the blender editor.

Is that a bug of the exporter, or am I not setting the right parameter ?

thanks.

(note: I am using the last version of everything: bleder 2.40; exporter from the cvs, etc)

Blender does not have a range setting for "Lamp" lamps, so the exporter uses the Ogre default. Don't confuse "Dist" with a clipping value.

Yes, dist, this is defined by blender as the distance value at which light intensity is half.

This is not *exactly* the definition of the range in the light attenuation equation, but close, and it could be useful to use it ?

Attenuation and clipping are completely unrelated concepts.

So, I guess I have to use a userdata to put light range information in the dotscene file.
