The secret eScape of Light 0.33:

by Christian Bauer

This is a GUI for the lightscape comandline tools (lsray, lsrender, lsrad, ls2vrml, lsmerge).

 

If you are using Lightscape you know that the cmd line tools are faster and have more features. This GUI have everything you will need to streamline your workflow from the begin of your work (with lsmerge) to processing (lsrad) and to rendering (lsray and lsrender). You are even able to output to vrml within this tool.

But this is not all! The GUI have a preview window where you can work on your final rendering. You can nearly interactivley see changes on the settings like brightness, BG color, fog and more. You can search for the right viewfile and even rendering many viewfiles will not stop this tool!

You can render Animations with one click and define every aspect of the animation like duration, speed and frames.
