By Data Juggler - 4 Years Ago Free Light Cube https://marketplace.reallusion.com/light-cube A Light Pipe consists of four sets of point lights, all wrapped in a pipe.  Each of the sets of four light pipes , is then attached to a box, and is called a Light Cube (actually it is a rectangle). The advantages to using a Light Cube are below. 1. A Light Cube can be controlled by the Light Pipes Controller.py Python script (add on product that costs 400 points or $4 dollars). 2. The child light pipes are attached to the box Light Cube, but the scale is not inherited so you can easily size your lights into place. 3. Light cubes provide soft lighting, and you can set each light to the range and strength you want, all 16 (or buy the Python Script, its worth it). Think of the Light Cube as the car body, and if you want it to do anything other than you pushing it yourself, then the Light Pipes Controller is the engine. Light Pipes Controller.py - 400 Points or $4.00 https://marketplace.reallusion.com/light-pipes-controller This python script is made specifically for the Light Cubes, although it would be easy for you to modify for your own lights if you wish. If the Light Cube is worth free, then here are the reasons this plug-in is worth $4. 1. If you show the Light Cube or any of the Light Pipes, IClone will show the range lines. Run the Light Pipes Controller.py Python script and click the Hide All Lights button, and this will hide the lights, but leave the light pipes visible.  2. You can set the range and color values for all the red, green, blue and yellow light pipes at a given frame number on the timeline, and click the Apply Lights button. This will apply the lighting to that frame, and as you add lights to other frames your lights will change. It is just an easy way to animate the light colors and even total darkness by setting all lights to off (and removing all other lights, and setting your project background to an all black image). Here is the first video I have made so far using the lounge project, since everyone has it. More videos coming soon. By wsessoms - 4 Years Ago Nice Python Script! By Data Juggler - 4 Years Ago Thanks. The more I learn about Python, the more I want to automate some of the tedious tasks in IClone. I always welcome ideas If anyone has any needs for useful Python scripts.
