Hi all,
I have started work on import of lighting. But there are several
problems which make it impossible to get a 1:1 match to our capabilities.
Some of these problems are:
(1)
A lightRig in MS Office uses up to 4 lights. But ODF and our API have
only two lights.
(2)
The MS Office lightRigs 'chilly', 'flat', 'freezing', 'morning',
'sunrise' and 'sunset' use colored light. ODF and our API have no color
for a light but only an intensity (='level'), which means our lights are
Gray.
(3)
There are lightRigs in MS Office with more than one specular light. Our
3D rendering engine has maximal one specular light. A 'specular' light
makes a bright spot on the shape in case the shape material is 'shiny'.
(4)
Our dialog '3D-settings' fits to shape extrusion of binary MS Office and
the 'legacy*' lightRigs. But these 'legacy*' lightRigs are not available
in the UI of modern MS Office. So we import lightRigs for which the user
has no UI.
Any ideas/wishes for a reasonably usable import?
Kind regards,
Regina
