Lens clipping not exporting

[Lord Crc]

Is it possible to not show the Blender panels?

I asked Dougal about this back in the 2.5 dev days, and at least then it was not possible from what I understood. However things may have changed...

Ok, its certainly possible now, I was just being dense back there.

So, what do we want to do? Hide the lens etc panel? Shall we try to keep in sync with BI somehow etc?

As to the clipping option, currently the main problem is that LuxBlend's Clipping tickbox is located too far away from Blender's Lens panel's clipping options. So I'd say LuxBlend's Clipping tickbox should be moved into the Lens panel - or in other words, we'd need to rebuild the Lens panel, including the Clipping tickbox (and at the same time removing the Panorama option as apparently it doesn't do anything when using LuxRender).

Apart from this one button, I'm sure there are other buttons that are duplicated or not grouped logically, like the RGBA output ones. It might be a good idea to try and create some mockups with the ideal interface before moving buttons and panels around on an individual basis.

I made some changes to also allow change blender panes....
Also tested rewriting our panels to not need blender lens for example but found it too intrusive atm. So i aborted for now.

I commited this now according Dalai's request.

Changed all occurances of LuxRenderAddon.BL_IDNAME --> 'LUXRENDER_RENDER'

COMPAT_ENGINE now indeed 'LUXRENDER_RENDER'.
I tested it also inside blender panes, work fine.
Example:

Code: Select all

I now solved the problem adding lux elements to blender panels

I made an example for clipping again, see: http://src.luxrender.net/luxblend25/rev/1d12e7f2463e

Not intrusive, but easy to handle, does not need to code into blender itself, just in our addon.

Now we can discuss what to move else ....
