Easier to share KCMs are awesome!

Yay plaintext copy/paste!

Love the PropertyQuery, too!

Of course to use this, you still need to supply the “Omni001”. Maybe on paste if the scene object is missing, you could put the name into the notes of the node?

Found a bug in that code - I was not escaping special characters in notes, so “light” in the middle of the note caused it to crash.

I fixed your post by escaping the " with .
I also fixed the code and attached the updated files to this post.
Please BACK UP the existing files before replacing, just in case.

Ha. I actually didn’t realize it was broken. I pasted, then copied back into a new max file, then realized that the object was missing and silently failing so I added the note and copy/pasted again. I didn’t check to see if the newly pasted version would actually work.

hi chad

im still not sure how i can use this magmaflow to illuminate particles through emission?

i loaded the flow on my prt loader but not really sure how it would do that, it outputs viewport prt color, and needs an object as input?

sorry im a magma newb, what does this flow do?

Chad · October 3, 2011, 2:25pm

Yes, it outputs viewport color, since we already have illumination working in the render color. You could apply this to emission, if you wanted to make your own shading for the render, of course. Probably more interesting if you had a different shading applied. There are limitations to this approach of course, you have to explicitly define ALL the lights in the KCM. You can’t say “get me all the lights assigned to this object and iterate through this function”.

The InputObject is the light you want to use to generate the illumination.
