Hi,
sIBL_GUI 3.5.0 is out!

I'm happy to introduce
sIBL_GUI -
Lightsmith. It's a new extension that allows you to integrate quickly textured lights into your scene.
Here is a vimeo teaser:
http://vimeo.com/20879389The Lightsmith IBL Sets are available here for now until we find a proper location with Christian:

Depending the renderer the lights will feature more or less options.
Arnold and VRay ones can be textured for instance with good results.
They can connect onto sIBL lights also, and will plug onto them.
Depending the requests etc, I'll certainly refine the light rig, etc...
The templates are released as nightly / beta versions, and will most likely evolve in the future. They should be fairly stable, but lack of warnings, explanation, etc...
For now only Maya with Mental Ray / VRay and XSI with Arnold / Mental Ray are supported. 3dsmax support will come later.
Some development renders done with Arnold:





Notice that this sIBL_GUI version and it's associated templates is not compatible with previous builds. I also dropped Illuminate Labs Turtle Renderer support since it's not developed anymore.
And the Complete Change Log:
sIBL_GUI - 3.5.0 : - Implemented support for "Lightsmith Lights": http://vimeo.com/20879389
- Most of the Templates have been refactored at different level.
- Fixed an issue where Ibl Sets were displayed multiple times in the "Database Browser" component.
- Dropped support of Illuminate Labs Turtle Renderer.
Enjoy !
