- AO energy slider to control amount - option "Use sky color" for colored AO. The horizon color will define bottom diffuse color, the zenith works on top - option "Use sky texture" will do a full sky render to define AO color Please note that AO energy and color only is found when a ray does not intersect. So for interior scenes make sure 'Dist' value is sufficient low. New also is: - World "Map input" allows "Ang Map" (Angular mapping) which can be used for 360 degree spherical maps, aka as Light Probes. Check samples here: http://www.debevec.org/Probes/ Note that Blender doesn't support HDRI images yet, but option "Use sky tex" already gives intersting results with such images - World sky rendering with Image Textures now correctly filters and uses antialiasing. Also noticable for raytrace mirror reflections - World preview render for sky type "Real" now gives correct view as defined by current used camera. I tried to speed up AO tracing with coherence systems, none of it really worked yet... time to tackle octree itself i guess!
Welcome to the fun world of open-source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
