Darken/Brighten Option

snmiglight · Grenadier **Joined**: 25 Aug 2007

Suggestion: darken/brighten should have an option to switch from single dot, line and filled rectangle. That should save a lot of time in applying/editing textures.

EDIT: I've seen requests before about this before, but with flood fill. I guess line and filled rectangle would be much more efficient compared to flood fill as you have more control to which parts are gonna be darkened/lightened.

More brush shapes would help most of the tools... but I think a global darken/lighten tool would also be handy, something that can apply to the whole voxel.

And to the current layer. Maybe filled rectangle could do the job, but this could be helpful for larger voxels.

Create a custom color conversion for that. I had such limited for the Allied gradient at a point, but I lost them during an OS change and I haven't remade them yet.

A global scene darken/lighten option could use the voxel texture colour mapping code to exceed the limits of the colour ranges, in a way that would be rather complicated in a .cscheme conversion. Thus darkest browns could go into the near blacks of grayscale rather than stop, similar to how WW's VPL plays with lighting across ranges. I see this being useful if the model is correctly shaded just happens to have been drawn too pale, or you want to easily turn something dirty looking.
