Just bought a bunch of HDR's from HDRI Skies and am integrating them into Illumi, and have some wishes:

- I want to add the month to the time stamp in the info (*.txt) files, but once you open Illumi you have to drag the time column to make it wider to see more text. Next time you enter Illumi the column width is forgotten, so I would like all column widths to be remembered!
- I also would like the HDRs ordered acccording the collumn header you click on, and this remembered between sessions
- When loading HDR from Illumi the multipliers for the VRayHDRI map are set to 2/6 (Overall/Render). This is ideal for HDRI-SKIES, but not for other loaded HDR's. Would it be possible to make a settings window where you can set these parameters for each subsequently loaded HDR? I know you can adjust exposure (and other things) with the sliders on the compass, but the position of the sliders is almost at the very beginning of the scale, while other HDRs require the sliders to be set even lower, so there is very little room to define a precise look! Maybe set the sliders at the middle of the scale or add a numerical entry?

Thanks 

Hi Eric,

I think we will be adding a date column to Illumi. Others have asked for this too.

This we will look at. I'm not sure what can be saved.

if you press the basic button you will get spinners and setting are up to you.

Hi Si,

Completely missed that basic button....duh!!
Still wish the Image Exposure Slider could be in the middle with value 1...but guess this is not that simple.

Thanks

I've been checking out the Illumi script and it's very nice. The only thing I find it missing is the option to load multiple HDRs in the scene and have a sort of hdri lister so that you can turn them on or off. The problem is that usually we have a bunch of POVs to render everyone of them with it's own illumination. As far as I can tell when you load a new HDR the previous rig is being replaced. Do you think this would be possible?
*also it would be nice if you could save the import settings for the HDRis. Thy seem to reset at their default values each time.

Hi,

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions!

Illumi is going through a significant update at present so your idea will be forwarded to the developers.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the quick reply.
