Quote - > Quote - Hmm. I'll leave it up to others to decide if it's worth doing. I think most people will use simple cylinders and stuff for glowing objects. A figure as a light source is probably a very rare thing.

It would also be a good idea, if we did it, that the geometry exporter asks the material system if it is going to glow, before bothering with the calculation.

It shouldn't take more than five minutes to implement, so I wouldn't be particularly sad if it ended up not being used too much.

I don't think the geometry exporter should be talking to the material system at all. I'll provide an API that lets you specify what to pick up from Poser, how to preprocess it and then get the data out via generators. It won't compute the surface area until you ask for it.

Would be nice to have.

Wishlist for geometry:

• OBJ import
• request for statistical info for one/all geometries
• Catmul-Clark for certain geometries (via parameter?) to smooth low-poly objects.
