I've worked hard on bringing you guys another update for Lookdev Kit. Fixed a couple of things and added new features.
You can download it from MY STORE FOR FREE
Let's start with new features video:
RELEASE NOTES:
06. May 2020 - Lookdev Kit 2.1
- When you load lookdev kit it will set ldv camera as main view camera
- Turntable Start Frame dropdown - you can choose what is your timeline start frame. Choose either 1 or 1001 as your Starting frame
- Auto asset framing - if you have your asset selected while clicking on Load LDV kit it will automatically adapt to your aset size and frame it correctly. You can always adjust the framing
- Skydome is now visible in viewport
- Skydome HDR resolution was default 1000, now it is 2048
- Skydome rotation Offset didn't worked in turntable mode, it was resetting on frame change
- Turntable Object rotation Offset didn't worked in turntable mode, it was resetting on frame change
- Set Turntable now adds Object rotation Offset slider value when making turntable
- UI Turntable Object rotation Offset didn't get right value after the UI launch
- Fixed SubD On asset selections - it didn't worked well in previous release
- Shadow Catcher plane is much larger now, you won't have shadows with sharp cuts in some lighting conditions
- Lookdevkit UI now launches on the right side of the main viewport, not in the center
- Turntable created one additional frame, now it creates correct number of frames
- Because I've added more features in the new release, if you have a scene with Lookdev kit 2.0 already loaded, script will automatically remove it upon running
- Added Batch renderer. You can now render your turntables on multiple HDRs with few clicks. More about this in DOCUMENTATION
- I created a Lookdev Kit documentation page where you can find all information about functionality of the tool
- A bunch of smaller fixes that created bugs
- New DOCUMENTATION PAGE
KNOWN BUGS:
If you run Del tx/jpg or Refresh HDRs commands after they finish Lookdev kit should start again, but sometimes it bugs out and it just turns off. I tried everything to fix this and couldn't find the reason for it. There are two possibilities:
First - I suck at coding and I created accidental bug that I cannot detect.
Second - Maya cmds UI is buggy and should be burned
Either way, I plan to re-write new UI with pySide, so there will be no random bugs.
If this bug happens to you please just start Lookdev Kit again.
